Bewick‘s Wren, Douglas County

[Terry Todd]

Yesterday I walked upstream along the Platte from the Platte River parking lot in Chatfield State Park. As I was going along the eastern shore of the first small lake, I caught a glimpse of a wren-like bird that flushed along the shore. It paused briefly and then shot, mouse-like into very dense cover. Today I went to the same spot to observe. No visible bird. I crept close to the dense cover and played a Bewick’s Wren recording from Sibley’s app. Immediate and identical response! That result was repeated a total of 4 times over a period of 45 minutes but the bird never showed himself.
