Singing House Wren (Boulder County), Parula Warbler (Baca County)

[Charles Hundertmark]

Working in the yard this afternoon, I heard the burbling song of the local House Wren. The bird has been singing for several days now.

On Sunday, while scouting for a Colorado Field Ornithologists Convention field trip, I heard the rising trill of a Northern Parula below the dam at Two Buttes SWA. Cornell Lab’s migration maps predicts peak migration in Colorado from May 3-8. The CFO Convention in Lamar this weekend should hit the sweet spot.

Chuck, your wren needs to get together with a House Wren that was just looking into one of my bird boxes. As the wren peered into the box, it gave a low chatter— a pair of Black-capped Chickadees have been going in and out of the box (was one in the box?).

Because I haven’t heard a wren singing, I suspect that “my” wren is a female.
