[Birdnet] Wrentits?

[Denkare at aol.com]

Utah Birders,
 
    I was Portland, Oregon over the weekend.   There was a tree that had 
little seed pods of some kind about two inches long  that looked like the ends of 
cattails.  The tree was frequented with little  birds about the size of 
wrentits.   Their throats and breasts were  pale.  I could not see any bars on their 
breasts.  They had no wing  bars.  I never noticed that they had cocked 
tails.  The males had  darker heads. The closest I can come to identifying them is 
a wrentit.   They were very active little birds and hardly sat still.  However 
I  observed one of their nests.  It was a long suspended bag like those made  
by an oriole.  I saw them come and go from it frequently and go inside as  
well, so it clearly was one of their nests.
 
    If they are not wrentits, what are they?  Does  anyone know if wrentits 
make nests like I described?
 
    Dennis
