[cobirds] new "yard bird"

I live in Bradburn Village right next to the Dry Creek Open Space in
Westminster (Adams County) and I don't have much of a yard. But this
evening as my wife and I started to go on a walk in the open space, just
outside are garage driveway in the weeds in an undeveloped lot we say a
bird fly over to a rock pile. Definitely a wren, but a little less
definitely marked than the Rock Wren on my Android phone iBird app. It
flew about 150 feet away and started making some calls. We checked the
calls on the phone app - maybe for 10 seconds and that seemed to
indicate more strongly Rock Wren. A few seconds later (with no more
recording calls) it flew back up to perch on the fence less than 10 feet
from us and started to call. Further reference to Sibley showed it
surely to be an immature Rock Wren. What a nice way to start an evening
walk.
