[Birdtalk] Winter Wren in Parley's Gulch

[Jeff Bilsky]

Tim,

This may help. I found it last night around dusk and took some video. The
hole is right across the river about 15-20 yards (?) east of the cement
barrier. Deedee's original email said 5 yards east which I believe may've
been underestimated. I found it in that general area just further east. I
should've clarified in my earlier email. I will likely head back tonight to
check for it again around 6:30ish. I'll be wearing a Chicago Whitesox floppy
hat if you want me to point out the hole although based on your description
I think you may've found it. After watching the bird for 30 minutes or so
and dusk settled in, he became more alert and eventually flew off into the
woods after something.

Here is the video I took of him: http://youtube.com/watch?v=RtSeM5p-RiY
