[Birdtalk] Fwd: Canyon Wren

[Sylvia Gray]

Bill and I were hiking in Rattlesnake Gulch this morning. Around noon  
I heard a sound that I did not recognize, so stopped to look. I could  
see movement on some nearby rocks and thought at first that it could  
be a Rock Wren, but when I looked through my binoculars it was  
clearly a Canyon Wren, the rufous back and tail plus the white throat  
were distinctive. Then I saw another Canyon Wren nearby. I should add  
that it was the call of the Canyon Wren that I did not recognize. I  
do know the song of the Canyon Wren :-)

Rattlesnake Gulch is 1.5 miles from the mouth of Millcreek Canyon,  
off Wasatch Drive in Salt Lake City. The birds were seen on the right  
about 100 yards beyond the "Welcome to Rattlesnake Gulch" map. (In  
case you were wondering we did not see any rattlesnakes!)
