[Tweeters] Pacific wrens in the City

[Stephan Fjelstad via Tweeters]

I live on the Seattle waterfront, Alaskan Way a bit north of the Aquarium.
I've been tracking birds roughly between Pier 63 and Myrtle Edwards Park
for over 25 years and just 2 days ago noticed a Pacific Wren foraging in
the new landscaping along Alaskan Way across the street from Bell Harbor.
I believe that is the first Pacific Wren I've ever observed in this area.
I'll keep an eye out for more of them, particularly down in Myrtle
Edwards.
