Too bad, Jon. On Wednesday evening I did hear it singing away and I was video recording some leaves while it sang given it rarely shows itself. I was just finishing up when a Cedar Waxwing dared to land in his territory and he chased it away quite close to me. Happily the camera was pointed in the right direction and I got a few seconds of it. I missed where it picked a caterpillar or something off a leaf unfortunately. youtu.be/DVA0HANJzZU There might be three House Wrens singing along this stretch. One was near Hopedale, another just west of the Chat location and still another closer to Lickman Road. This guy had no issue with singing out in the open. youtu.be/1BulTMjb2Ls

Nice films.
Apparently I was at the wrong "bridge" the other day. There's a spot along the trail where it has a wooden railing and a sign saying not to use the path of another person is on it due to covid. This is the wrong bride. The correct spot is by a cattle gate further down the tail.
Went there this morning. Before arriving at the right spot, I could already hear the chat. And speed him nearly right away. Not the best views, but it was nice to get eyes on it.
Heard the house Wren at the parking lot, and saw one by the chat spot (1km down the trail).

I finally got it! That’s my first lifer in a long while. It was very nice to meet Larry and Joel out on the trail as well.

Larry and I got a brief glimpse of the chat, but it was mostly a heard-only. The Lazuli buntings were quite active along the dyke, and we heard a couple of House wrens as well.
It's always nice bumping into forum members in the field.

I spent an hour there on the morning of the 16th with no luck. I did here it on the 12th but was hoping to see it as the last one I saw was the one at the Hope Air Port. Denis
