Description
The Clarión wren looks much like a house wren but is larger with a prominently longer bill, somewhat approaching the Carolina wren in form.
Range & habitat
The natural habitats of the Clarión wren are the less arid patches of shrubland, notably thickets of Ipomoea halierca morning glory. It also appears to occur in the garrison buildings and garden at Sulfur Bay, but usually avoids the rocky shores and other exposed areas. In dense undergrowth, territories are some 10 meters (30–40 ft) in diameter.

What it does
In late March 1953, Clarión wren males were found to be singing and threatening intruding competitors. Egg laying takes place between mid-March and mid-April. The eggs are similar to those of the house wren, but larger and more elongated. They measure approximately 20 x 14 mm (0.79 x 0.55 in) and also are colored basically like those of house wrens but with fewer and crisper markings noticeably denser at the blunt end.
