		The Stephens Island wren, which was at one time on the mainland, was together with two of its previously extinct relatives, the only known flightless songbird in the world.
		The wren population on Stephens Island was, in fact, the last remnant of a species that once lived throughout New Zealand.
		It is the only species of wren that has remained widely distributed throughout the South Island, south of Te Aroha on the lower two-thirds of the North Island and on Great Barrier Island and Little Barrier Island in the Hauraki Gulf.

	Wrens
		The Rock Wren nest may be found in cracks and crevices among boulders, gopher burrows, cracks or openings in stone or adobe buildings, steep banks of washes, and other sheltered sites.
		The Rock Wren frequently creates a path of small rocks that lead to its nest; the purpose of this behavior is not understood.
		Rock Wrens are strongly migratory, spending the winter in rocky lower elevations and the summer in elevations reaching 8,000 to 10,000 feet in the northern part of their range.

		The rock wren is found only in the South Island and belongs to a distinct family of birds that is known only from NZ.

		The rock wren is among our most widely distributed of Western birds, choosing her home amidst a variety of environmental conditions that puts her in a class by herself.
		If the rock wrens have found it possible they will have hidden it so deeply that it will be quite out of sight, and it may take considerable work on your part even to get a peep at it.
		All through the year the sprightly rock wrens are about the first birds up in the morning and with the towhees the last to retire at night, and now that they are especially noisy in song you are more than ever aware of their early risings and late retirings.

		Unlike the bush wren which is constantly taking dry feathers in and wet feathers out both during incubation of the eggs and rearing of the young, the rock wren seemed to prefer to make a thorough job at the beginning.
		Warmth and dryness are obtained once for all by bulk of material, the natural oil of the feathers massed together helping to exclude any dampness that might penetrate, firstly through the live root mass, and, secondly, through the exterior shield of shredded grass and skeleton leaves.
		The rock wren, too, is much less of a ground bird in its search for moths and other insect life, often alighting upon and exploring the rounded tops of the shrubby hillside veronicas (hebes); the curtsey or bob, and then the tip–toe telescopic elongation of the little fellow is also more pronounced.

	Nesting Habits of the Rock Wren
		Near the head of the San Antonio River in the northern suburbs 'of the city where the land is brokeu, of a limestone for- mutton with almost no surface.soil and covered with prickly pear and laurel, is quite an extensive lime-stone quarry.
		Nest was placed in cavity under boulders on bottom of quarry and had the usual stone foundation; two matches, a few splinters of wood, lining of fl goat hair and considerable wool, especially round the rim; no sign of a walk.
		One interesting trait and one which I should judge to be purely local is their habit of dodging under a boulder or overhanging rock upon the loud report of a blast, and remaining there until the shower of falling rock is over.

		Rock wrens are common in mountains, arid areas, scrublands, and other open country in the American west, as long as there are rocks to sit on.
		At times they can be very bold, fearlessly approaching someone for a close inspection, as the bird in the left image is doing (it was almost too close to get into focus, a very unusual situation in bird photography).
		Both of these rock wrens were in Two Trees Canyon, near Riverside, California.

		The specimen's face and edge modifications reflect a technique of controlled knapping not evident on either the surface artifacts of the Lake Manix Lithic Industry or the late middle Pleistocene age Calico specimens.
		Because the specimen was discovered during a hike on which a rock wren nest was found, it has come to be euphemistically called the Rock Wren biface; the adjacent 3-m x 3-m test excavation is called the Rock Wren Test Pit.
		This date and its error factor suggest that the Rock Wren Biface is of an age equivalent to Clovis or slightly earlier.
