Summary[edit] Description: Sobrante Ridge Regional Preserve, Richmond, California According to Cornell Lab’s All About Birds site, Wrentits may be the most “sedentary bird species in North America. They rarely travel more than 1,300 feet from where they were born.” Also, Wrentits are found year-round only in Oregon, California, and the upper part of the Baja peninsula. Looking at eBird it looks like they don’t cross the Columbia River since there are lots of sightings along the Oregon side of the Columbia but nothing in Washington state. And finally, Wrentits have “wren” in their name they are not wrens at all. They are currently a member of the parrotbill family, but their family status is rather uncertain. They have no close relatives in the Americas. Their closest relatives are in Africa, Spain, India, and China. Date: 22 February 2018, 11:50. Source: Wrentit.
