Hi birders, A Winter Wren briefly blasted its song this morning on the Boulder Creek Path west of 75th Street. It was next to the creek, where the path turns south toward the water treatment plant. I did not see the bird so I relied on the musical quality of the song, as well as my experience with the song of this species in Vermont, and *pacificus *on the Olympic Peninsula. Phishing and patience did not produce a visual and it did not vocalize again. There were nice mixed species flocks of B-c Chickadees, Brown Creepers, R-c Kinglets, W-b nuthatches etc. working the riparian vegetation. An American Dipper was also singing near a traditional winter territory on the creek. A late Greater Yellowlegs was in the private pond west of the plant. A Sharpy quieted everyone down, and then dove amongst the pipes and infrastructure of the treatment basis maybe trying to surprise something.
