[cobirds] Bewick Wren, Waneka Lake, Boulder County

Hey, all.

Moments ago this sunny Tues., Apr. 19, I saw and heard a Bewick wren in the tangles along the north shore of Waneka Lake, Boulder County.

I was out on a run, and didn't have a camera. But I got some cellphone audio of the bird.

I'm not terribly hopeful about the prospects for refinding this bird. It emerged from the tangles at the extreme southeast corner of Greenlee Preserve, then worked eastward relatively briskly in the thin shrubbery and cottonwood trunks along and east of the "beach" on the north shore of Waneka Lake. What I'm saying is, The bird seemed to me to be on the move. But who knows! If you can conveniently get to the spot, it might be worth some searching.

At least one white-throated sparrow was singing at the nearby Greenlee feeders.

A few more local notes: Yesterday, Mon., Apr. 18, a first-of-season solitary sandpiper had joined the killdeers, avocets, and yellowlegses at Greenlee Preserve, and I saw and heard three unexpected evening grosbeaks flying north over the Walmart SuperCenter in Lafayette. Go figure.
