Fairly common in proper habitat

Rock Wrens prefer areas with an extensive amount of rock � including residential areas which have been landscaped with decorative, non-native rocks. One unique behavior is the deep-knee bends which gives it a 'bobbing' appearance. Very vocal, like most wrens calls and sings frequently. Usually seen in pairs. Actively forages for insects, using their long, thin beak to probe in cracks and crevices.
