Thanks to Margo D. Beller for alerting me to the wren. I made it there for lunch hour and spotted it in the same section she reported in. I missed the continuing Louisiana Waterthrush which Margo saw today in the SE corner storage area. Winter Wren is park species #40 for me. It all started with the Chat back in November of 2002.
