I returned to 63rd at St. Vrain Creek today about 1:00 p.m. Dave Cameron and Deb were there and had seen the Winter Wren about 2 minutes before I got there. After a few minutes, the bird returned to the west bank on the north side of the bridge and later worked its way under the bridge and to the south. We got plenty of good looks and I got fairly good photos over a period of about 1/2 an hour. It's not a slam dunk for me to determine whether this bird is a western or eastern. The bird sang and called, but I don't trust my memory and skills enough to use the vocalizations to be sure about which race (species after the split) this bird is. In a little while, I'll provide a link to photos and provide some additional comments on why I'm puzzled about the ID. I welcome comments. I also had a light morph Harlan's Hawk at 75th and St. Vrain Road. Probably the same bird that Christian Nunes reported a few weeks ago. There was an intermediate or dark Harlan's near Hygiene Road and 61st. David Waltman Boulder
