Canon City River Walk

[Glenn and Laurie]

Folks,

 

After dropping off my wife in Pueblo, I went to Canon City to work on the wren situation. I found a vocal stub-tailed, or ‘cocktail wren’ and recorded it.  I am sure it is the same bird seen, photographed and recorded on January 1 and 10.  My feeling is this bird is a typical Winter Wren, but I will defer to experts.  You can hear the bird at the youtube link below.  I heard only one wren for sure.  While attempting to photograph this enigma, I saw and photographed a slate-colored Fox Sparrow in the same location.  A previously discovered Western Screech-Owl was apparent in it’s massive nest hole north of the port-a-potty near the Raynolds parking lot.   See pbase link for photos.
