Détails de l'observation
Pacific Wren-looking bird with a prominent white throat and white supercilium, seen just before the stream crossing on my way back towards the parking lot around noon. I was bummed I had dipped on photos of any Pac Wrens up until this point, when suddenly this bird popped up towards the top of some bramble and started chattering away. It bobbed up and down and turned side-to-side as it kept at it for over two minutes. I took the attached photos and recording at the same time, so I am 100% certain that this is the white-throated wren calling. As far as I could tell, this outburst was unprompted; no one else was around to use playback. Chatter is somewhat of a common denominator call amongst wrens; it seems like they all can produce a very similar-sounding call when so inclined. I thus can't make much of a determination about the species based on this call alone. If I was pushed, I would say my recording sounds closer to a Pacific Wren timbre than a Winter Wren. The bird, however, looks more like a Winter Wren to me. Merlin Sound ID is convinced it is a Eurasian Wren (it also says the same about Nancy Christensen's recording of this same bird), but that might be above my pay grade. As far as I know, nobody has yet observed this bird making any other sort of diagnostic chip or chimp call. I wouldn't call my photos or recording diagnostic by any means, but hopefully they help add data to this mystery case.
