The San Clemente wren[2] (Thryomanes bewickii leucophrys) was a subspecies of Bewick's wren.[3][4] It was mainly distributed on San Clemente Island, off the southern coast of California.[3] The San Clemente wren is extinct, with the last sighting in 1941.[2][5]

Description

The San Clemente wren measured about 14 cm (5.5 in) in length, with a wingspan of about 5.5 cm (2.2 in).[1][6] The plumage on top was brown with a grey wash, with a white eye-stripe.[6] The underparts were a mix of grey and white, with the lower tail coverts having black bars.[1]

Extinction

In the early 20th century, the San Clemente wren was reported to be common on San Clemente Island.[7][8] However, habitat destruction from goats led to the demise of the species by the middle of the century.[9]
