[cobirds] Sedge Wren Arapahoe County

['Dan Stringer' via Colorado Birds]

Three of us were surprised to see the Sedge Wren yesterday 3/3 at the same 
spot it was originally found by Cole Sage in January. S Platte Park Area, W 
side of river about 1/3 mile N of the parking area. (39.5710642, 
-105.0407814)  We took a leisurely stroll around the lakes in 60 degree 
weather, when we got to the place along the river where it had been seen we 
paused and were talking about non-wren topics for a few minutes, then heard 
it and had great diagnostic views. Delightful, thanks again Cole.

[cobirds] Sedge Wren Arapahoe County

[Cole Sage]

Hi all,

This evening just before sunset while birding at South Platte Park I found
a Sedge Wren foraging along the river. I first noticed call notes that I
thought were a Winter Wren’s but as I got closer they sounded off. When the
wren appeared it was clearly not a stub-tailed Wren but a Sedge Wren. The
bird was seen here (39.5710642, -105.0407814) foraging on the east side of
the river.

Re: [cobirds] Sedge Wren

[elena]

Thank you, Lauren; it probably bears repeating regularly, since one, people 
don’t “get” it the first time, and two, new people are (hopefully, it’s a good 
thing) regularly joining the birding world, that our ethics as birders require 
us to put the birds’ safety and health first.  NO exceptions. Someone can state 
it better than I can, but please, do not EVER disturb birds, especially 
migrants, especially rare ones who are out of their usual habitat and likely 
struggling to survive.

[cobirds] Sedge Wren

[Lauren Burke]

The Sedge Wren is being seen in a place that is walking distance from my home, 
so I went to try my luck. The wren was seen around 1:45 by a group of five 
birders including me.  I got a nice five seconds or so before he dove for 
cover. 

I know the only reason I got to see the bird was because of the behavior of the 
other folks that were there when I got there-but I found the behavior itself 
appalling. While the initial flush of the bird was happenstance, there was a 
concerted effort to purposefully flush him once he/she was spotted. I tried to 
stay back aways from the spot but kept having folks step in front of me. A 
couple folks with cameras were very intent on getting a shot. A gentleman that 
arrived moments after I saw the bird got to see it and take a picture or 
two-but left abruptly after one of the other birders played the call on their 
phone. 

Like I said-I’m delighted I got to see this life bird for a few moments, but 
can’t help wonder how stressful it is for him with people stomping around his 
cover, poking sticks and such. I probably wouldn’t have seen him otherwise-but 
I really was surprised to see folks actively working to flush the bird.

[cobirds] Sedge Wren, Broomfield county

[Bil Ford]

My Sedge wren experience: I have seen and photographed 8 of 10 wren species 
found in N. Am., six locally and 2 in Pueblo. The Sedge wren would have 
been #9 (with #10 Cactus wren unlikely for here.) I was excited for the 
possibility of a lifer sighting locally. The drive, ugh. Upon arrival I 
found 20 (counted) humans standing in a circle about the size of my living 
room with the alleged wren supposedly in the grass in the middle of this 
circle of humanity. All but 2 could have been holding hands. No distancing, 
not all were masked. I stayed about 1 minute, long enough to figure out I 
didnt want the sighting that badly for multiple reasons. I would very much 
liked to have seen this bird, but not under these circumstances.  
The posting of rare birds is a double-edged sword that must be wielded 
carefully. If a rare bird gets posted it's gonna get mobbed. I dont have a 
solution except for maybe a little self-restraint.

Hi Everyone, The Sedge Wren popped up for several minutes around 3:35 this 
afternoon 10/18. It was in the fallen cottonwood but also spent time in the 
grass next to the nearby thistles. A black camp chair has been placed at the 
spot. Mark Miller Longmont, CO Sent via the Samsung Galaxy S8 Active, an AT

[cobirds] SEDGE WREN Broomfield County

[Matt Hofeditz]

Me and Dave Ely found a Sedge Wren working the grassy thickets on the east 
side of Country Vista Park this morning. It was at the 
coordinates 39.919159, 105.048337, underneath a fallen cottonwood and 
adjacent brush for most of the morning. Street parking can be done on W 
123rd Pl and walking east, or from Winona Pl and taking the sidewalk 
westward. The bird is secretive and disappears for long stretches of time, 
but is somewhat responsive to pishing.

[cobirds] Sedge Wren, Louisville

[Jack Bushong]

Hi all,
Yesterday evening my brother and I observed a Sedge Wren along Coal Creek 
between where Coal Creek trail crosses under W Cherry St. (near Warembourg 
Open Space) and Louisville Community Park. It was a short distance (approx. 
50 feet) south of the main trail in the cattails and willow thickets along 
the creek. The wren was incredibly secretive (as most wrens are), and would 
rarely perch for more than several seconds as it skulked through dense 
vegetation. I returned this morning but could not relocate the bird.

Exact coordinates: 39.965007, -105.136341

[cobirds] Sedge Wren Pueblo County

[David Tønnessen]

Birders,
There is currently a Sedge Wren below the dam on the Southeast side of Rose 
Pond in the Pueblo portion of Chico Basin Ranch (today 9/21). It has been 
silent for a few minutes now but for a while was actively chipping and popped 
up for views a few times. It likes the dense Russian thistle and sedges 
clustered there.


Good Birding,

[cobirds] SEDGE WREN, N Parula : Union Res, Weld County

['Steven Mlodinow' via Colorado Birds]

Greetings


A couple of hours ago I had a Sedge Wren along the roadside at nw corner of 
Union Res. 
Turn from County Line Rd (Weld CR 1) onto road that goes along n side of Union 
Res. 
Immediately you'll pass a house on the right. The road will then bend sharply 
left, then back right. There will be some cattails and other tall weeds on 
left, along road. On right, more extensive tall wet weedy (sedges???) stuff and 
catttails. I stopped here to pish (as I randomly do when circling Union). A 
couple Song and Lincoln's Sparrows popped up. I kept pishing, a Marsh Wren 
appeared and I heard the Sedge call. I played the song, and the bird came into 
open twice before disappearing. Another 20 minutes of scouring the roadside 
(area off road private) only managed to scatter birds. I went back later and 
hand nary a bird, but they are likely nearby as habitat is excellent, if also 
extensive. 


Continuing along n side of Union, just past reservoir, you go up a bit of a 
rise and there are tall trees on both sides of road, house on right, structures 
on left. I pished here because I heard chickadees. Into a bush at side of road 
(some reddish leafed thing) dropped a half-dozen chickadess and a nice bright N 
Parula


Waterbirds on Union have diminished, not increased, since last visit with 
naught of interest. Osprey, Forster's Tern, and the BN Stilt seeming to have 
departed. No scoters or jaegers arrived.


Good Birding

[cobirds] SEDGE WREN - Sloan's Lake, Denver

[Matthew Baker]

Just had fantastic looks at a sedge wren in the reeds near the 'pelican 
statue' on the N. Side of Sloan's lake at the foot of Vrain street.


The bird was calling in the reeds, and came up several times to 'chatter'.

The sprinklers just came on as I was leaving, so I wonder if the bird 
will hang around at all.


Also of note, especially for my Sloan's Lake and Denver list was a Song 
Sparrow in the same set of reeds.

[cobirds] Sedge Wren at Prewitt Reservoir (Logan County)

[David Dowell]

A SEDGE WREN was calling often and seen occasionally this morning, and it 
is potentially re-findable if calling again.  From the easternmost dam 
parking area (in Logan County), head east on the dirt road below the dam. 
 There are signs for State Recreation Area and Fish Management along 
this road.  Several hundred yards down the road, on the other side of a 
barbed wire fence, is a small marsh with some reeds, willows, and Russian 
olives.  The wren was on the near side of this marsh.  Other landmarks in 
the area are a post with a red reflector on it, and some large cottonwood 
trunks cut up in sections.

The marsh also had a Marsh Wren and a late Gray Catbird.  Other birds in 
the area include Eastern Bluebirds.  There is a Common Loon on the water.

[cobirds] Sedge Wren, Cottonwood Glen/Spring Creek Trail, Larimer County

[Brad Biggerstaff]

Still reeling from not going to Dixon this morning and seeing the American
Redstart that Arvind found, I went to Cottonwood Glen/Spring Creek Trail in
West Fort Collins at about 1:30 to see what warblers I might find
(Yellow-Rumped).  No luck with rare warblers, however, I did happen upon a
Sedge Wren.  The bird was in some tall, thick (sedge?) grasses right along
the trail, in a marshy collection of water; the grasses transitioned into
cattails away from the trail.  The bird was calling single-note chat
calls, and I saw it pop up long enough to fire off some photos.  I stayed
some 30 minutes, and it would continue to call occassionally (generally
single notes), but it pretty much stayed down in the grasses.  I was able
to get one shot that was a bit blurry but through the grasses that shows
the back reasonably well.

Link to all the photos (including very blurry ones) is here:

The location of this marshy collection area from the parking lot on the
west side of the park:  walk along the bike/walking trail, past the first
bridge (where the trail turns north), and the marshy section is then some
25-30 yards and on the west side of the trail.  The grasses were just some
10 feet off the trail, and the bird was occassionally just 10-15 feet from
me (though down in the grass).

Great find, Brad. The wren was in the same spot at sundown. Hopefully it will 
stick around for others who search for it tomorrow. With weather moving in from 
the south, maybe it will stick around this weekend.

[cobirds] Sedge Wren, Dixon Reservoir, Larimer County

[Brad Biggerstaff]

This afternoon I saw and heard a secretive Sedge Wren at Dixon Reservoir in 
west Fort Collins.  Grainy photos available at
 
https://picasaweb.google.com/105742165113837247842/SedgeWren#5795947624278688034
 
Though grainy, the photos show streaking on the crown, without the obvious 
brownish crown of the Marsh Wren.  
 
Nick Komar and I tried to get better photos of the bird, but to no 
avail. The bird was along the southwestern, interior section, in the deep 
grasses among the trees, along the edge of the reservoir.  It stayed in 
this area for over an hour, and though we were often just feet from the 
bird, we did not get any better looks than those in these photos.  The bird 
called clearly and often, and the call matched Sibley's chat calls_ND.   
 
Naturally, I welcome comments concerning the identification.

[cobirds] Sedge Wren (Chico Basin Ranch - Pueblo)

[Bill Maynard]

COBirders,

 

I first heard, then saw, then photographed a very cooperative (for that
species) Sedge Wren about 50 feet from where I found a LeConte's Sparrow
(September 17) in a wet sedge meadow surrounded by scattered Russian olives
where the Upper Twin Pond Dam bends 90 degrees south.  I was walking in the
wet (~2 inches of water) sedges between the obvious small migrant trap trees
and the south spur of the dam, rather close to the 90 degree bend.  There
are both Marsh and House wrens in the area for comparison. 

 

The other bird of note (for that location) was a Grasshopper Sparrow south
of the RMBO banding station in some dense weeds and dead Russian olives.  It
was with a ton of White-crowned Sparrows, Lincoln's Sparrows, and a few
Green-tailed Towhees and a couple of Brown Thrashers.

 

At the small headquarters pond (Sherrie's Pond) with flooded weeds sticking
above the water was a tan-striped White-throated Sparrow.

 

Bird banding news will be posted by Julie or Steve later.  

 

There will be very limited antelope hunting south of most Chico Basin Ranch
birding areas tomorrow and Sunday.

 

Bill Maynard
