Pacific/Winter Wren, Dry Creek Open Space, Boulder County

[Laura Steadman]

Hi folks,

This afternoon at Dry Creek Open Space in Boulder County, I saw a winter or pacific wren. It was hopping about on the edge of the creek. Short, stubby tail, fine barring or speckling, quite a bit of rufous, concentrated near the tail. At first I reported it in eBird as a winter wren, but after looking at comparisons online, I'm not sure I paid enough attention to the right things to make a confident call. Either way, it's a first for me!

I'm going to try to find it again in the morning and take my camera this time. :)

Good Birding,
