Question about wrens...

[generator12]

I've got a birdhouse which has for years been occupied each summer by chickadees or wrens. The wrens are always chirping loudly and can be heard all around the yard - at least until this summer. There's a family which has taken up residence this year and does no singing at all. Until I saw one enter the house last week I wasn't sure there were any birds in it this summer. Just curious whether anyone has a line on a type of wren that stays quiet..!

It looks like a house wren - a brownish mix with a few lighter stripes horizontally on the wings. Any thoughts?

Thanks, as always guys.

Will admit I'm a bird'er. Bought 96 suet cakes 6 weeks ago and only have 6 left

Will need to see some kind of pick because the brown color is the most prevalent
