One species, the wrentit, lives along the Pacific Coast of North America.
Babblers get their name from the loud, repeated calls they make.
There are about 250 species of babblers. They are weak fliers. The color of babblers varies widely. Most species, such as the white-crested laughing thrush, are a combination of brown, black, gray, chestnut, or white. But some babblers have bright green, yellow, or red feathers.
