Hello,
With the recent split of "Winter" Wren into two North American species (Pacific and Winter) by the American Ornithologists' Union, the Colorado Bird Records Committee (CBRC) is attempting to determine what the status and distribution of each of the two species are in the state, especially for Pacific Wren. It is our belief that Pacific Wren has occurred in Colorado, but there have only been one or two reports of the species that have been submitted to the CBRC. At this point, Pacific Wren is NOT on the state review list, but we would like to know what the true status is. I am requesting birders that have seen or heard Pacific Wrens in Colorado to provide some information as to where and when. Also, if folks could indicate how they determined a given sighting to be that of Pacific Wren (plumage, song-call, location, time of year, etc.), that would also be useful as well. Any information submitted to the CBRC will be used as a benchmark and will not be considered as a formal documentation to the Committee for review. We're just looking to receive some dialogue of what people think the status may be. Folks can email me privately with any information they have. Best wishes, Larry Semo Chair, CBRC -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group. To post to this group, send email to cobi...@googlegroups.com.
