Hiking the bike trail, just west of the 35E bridge, this morning around 7:45, I had a second glimpse of a Wren who caught my attention by its long, bright white supercilium. The bird was foraging on the wooded bluff side of the trail. Its only vocalizations were a few alarm rattles; it stayed hidden in the shadows of the shrubs. Unless there are wet areas on the bluff top above this spot, it seems unlikely it would be frequented by a Marsh Wren. This bird also lacked the patches of striping a Marsh Wren has, and seemed longer and leaner in shape and bearing. It's not one of the many House Wrens, so I'm thinking it's a Carolina. If anyone ventures that way and can confirm its identity, I'd appreciate hearing about it. Linda Whyte
