Sorry for the late post. Mary Cay Burger and I saw the Winter Wren on Wednesday morning, Feb 10 about 11 a.m. in the same general area of Prospect Park as reported by Paula Hansley on Feb 5 and tonight by Mark Chavez. We found the bird because he was singing frequently without any prompting. We saw him as a very dark, rusty Winter Wren, but flitting in and out from under huge downed logs and lots of brush for about 20 minutes. I couldn't get a photo of him - too fast. Mary had her ipod with both calls on it and he would respond best to what we think is the Oregon or western Winter Wren call. We have listened to the McCauley E and W wrens Nathan Pieplow has on his blog that Ted Floyd posted on Dec 2, 2009, and to Bob Righter's CD that has an Oregon bird. We both agree that it sounded like pacificus, which seems more structured and less jumbled than the eastern seems to be. I have heard the western in WA and eastern ID and the eastern in several eastern states. We would be interested in what the experts think. Thanks.
