		In North America, the Winter Wren is primarily a denizen of the cool northern coniferous forests found in the northern United States and Canada.
		Winter Wren populations occur in the higher altitudes of the Appalachians, in the dense spruce forests of the Rocky Mountains, and in the rugged stream beds and redwood forests of the Pacific Coast.
		A completely different habitat is occupied by a group of Winter Wrens in the treeless Aleutian Islands, where they forage and nest on cliffs or in clumps of grass in rocky places along streams and the shoreline.

		Spring migration is not discernible in the Georgia Depression and southern regions of the Coast and Mountains, because of the presence of resident birds.
		The Winter Wren breeds across much of the southern two-thirds of the province, including the Queen Charlotte Islands, Vancouver Island, other offshore islands, and the mainland coast, east across the southern portions of the interior to the Flathead River valley and north to the Skeena and Nechako river valleys.
