Amazingly, I just had a stub-tailed wren in my front yard in Niwot that
startled me when I opened my front door to look for the paper! It then flew
into a mass of brambles along the side of my house. I'm leaning towards a
Winter Wren based on a chip note I heard two minutes later that sounded like

Today, at about 9 am, I heard a Winter/Pacific Wren sing several times in the
Wild Basin area of Rocky Mountain National Park, not far from Allenspark. I

RMNP on Monday at about 8:30am. As we stopped briefly for water and
snacks, I heard an unfamiliar singer in the jumbled

Hi all -
Today Jeff and I hiked to Bluebird Lake in RMNP. We passed by Calypso
Cascades, the location of the Stub-tailed Wren (STWR) as reported by Steve
Mlodinow approximately 10 days ago and heard it singing at about 7am this
morning. I had a brief glimpse - not enough to give me many details
Today at around 1245pm I got brief looks at a Winter or Pacific Wren
adjacent to the bike trail at the northwest corner of Lee Martinez park,
where a little stream that drains a cattail marsh next to the trail passes
under the trail. This is the same location where a Mourning Warbler was
