And thank you for your question. Wrens do frequently call the Garden home, but the sighting of a splendid wren (Malurus splendens) native to Australia is highly unlikely.

A more likely sighting might be some of the spectacular warblers (http://bit.ly/lk8hf0) that migrate through this area in fall and spring, but much like the weather, we cannot possibly begin to predict their movements. Your best bet is to stay tuned to the blog, join our free Saturday bird walks, and to follow both the Garden (@nybg) and Debbie Becker (@debbiebecker1) on Twitter.

Happy bird watching!

More specifically a Splendid Wren (blue wren?). I’ve recently fallen in love with the creature. Would be really nice to actually see one.
