Another great Birdwalk at Westwood with 10 enthusiastic birders finding 47
species! Highlight included gazillions of RThrted HBs, RosebreastedGBs, and
Cedar waxwings ! Also 8 Warblers, 4 Vireos and all the usual suspects! Also
Osprey, and a Juvenile Red Tail hawk who posed for us ten feet off th
Yesterday I noticed this bird on my feeders, which appears to be a type of
wren. We had a lengthy discussion on the Minnesota Birding Facebook page
about it and I was curious if anyone here has an opinion on what it might
be. While the camera does capture high quality images, of course it would

What comes to mind is a stray Rock Wren, but your bird's legs seem too
yellow for that. Could it be a stray Worthington's variety of the Marsh

Interesting photo! Wouldn't it be nice if the birds would carry ID tags.
The bright white supercillium and long tail narrow the field down to just
two choices: Carolina Wren and Bewick's Wren. The Carolina Wren is regular
in the SE Minnesota and perhaps into the Metro Area. The Bewick's is

Interesting! Liz, would you let us know if you see it again, and whether the
