[cobirds] Wren ID help

I found a wren along Bear Creek (Lakewood, Jefferson County) this morning (10:30 am) that is either a Pacific Wren or a Winter Wren - I am not 100% sure because both Pacific and Winter Wrens look almost identical to me. This individual was very rufous in color and Merlin Sound ID suggested Pacific Wren. I wonder what people with more wrenxperience think it is.

This happy little guy was foraging along the dam in the middle of the creek, popping in and out of sight. The dam is located right across from a conveniently located fallen log that one could sit on and observe, along Bear Creek Trail. There was also a Swamp Sparrow that appeared briefly before moving on upstream, and several other birds of lesser stature.

I marked the location on Google Maps - the bird was on the upstream side of this dam:

[cobirds] Yellow-bellied Sapsucker in Arvada

A Yellow-bellied Sapsucker visited my seed cylinder feeder at least twice today.  New to me, I immediately noticed it as something I hadn't seen before.  Bigger than a Downy, smaller than a Flicker. It was fluffed up due to cold temps.  So fun to see, especially on my FeederWatch bird counting day!

[cobirds] Greater Sage Grouse featured in Foothills Audubon Virtual meeting, tonight, 7 pm

US Bureau of Land Management is revising their habitat management plan
for Greater Sage Grouse.  Again!

This time, BLM is taking comments from the public until February 6.  If
you'd like to make comment to BLM - or like to learn more about the
iconic Greater Sage Grouse - then Tuesday is your chance to learn the
history and latest developments directly from Daly Edmunds, Director of
Policy and Outreach for Audubon Rockies.

Greater Sage-grouse are found across 11 western states in North
America's largest but often overlooked ecosystem. This inconspicuous
lekking species was once so prevalent that they fed many pioneers during
their grueling westward journeys. Today, with a majority of the birds
found on public lands, they've become a political football. In this
presentation, Daly will discuss the political intrigue that has plagued
its management, review the threats to its habitat, and share the latest
science (spoiler alert: they aren't doing well!).

Here is the link to join in.  Program will start promptly at 7 pm.
