Me and Dave Ely found a Sedge Wren working the grassy thickets on the east side of Country Vista Park this morning. It was at the coordinates 39.919159, 105.048337, underneath a fallen cottonwood and adjacent brush for most of the morning. Street parking can be done on W 123rd Pl and walking east, or from Winona Pl and taking the sidewalk westward. The bird is secretive and disappears for long stretches of time, but is somewhat responsive to pishing.

The bird is continuing as of 4pm this afternoon. About 6 of us waited quietly for 20-30 minutes near the more eastern fallen trees it's been seen in, serveral of us heard it and then it popped up very briefly. A few minutes later it was spotted flying low to the ground about 15' west moving toward the tree it seems to have been seen in much of the day (per photos). Several of us were able to obtain photos.

The sedge wren was still present near the fallen trees as of noon today. It started chipping a bit before it appeared for us, stayed low, and was quite skulky. Cool bird!

Sedge Wren continues to skulk and show itself ever so briefly every 10 mins or so the past hour for 8-10 patient birders at the fallen trees (with black folding chair location marker).
