There have been reliable clusters of Rock Wrens @ the Arsenal in recent

The *rock wren* show yesterday, Sat., Oct. 3, at Rocky Mountain Arsenal
National Wildlife Refuge, Adams County, was brilliant. Easily the most

County, flew into my yard. It took a few conspicuous perches near me --

Hello all,
I'm a graduate student studying Rock Wren song at the University of
Northern Colorado. I will be recording as many Rock Wrens as possible in
the states of Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, and New Mexico as part of my
