Re: [cobirds] Winter Wren-Lee Martinez Park Larimer

I too saw the winter wren about 11:30 AM today. He showed himself for a long time and then darted into and out of the gaps under the big slabs of ice, right where everyone has described where he should be, viewed from one of the dirt social trails. Great find! Is there any truth to the rumor

[cobirds] El Paso county immature bald eagles
