Деталі спостереження
I viewed the bird in several locations in the vicinity of the state park beach house. The first and most natural setting (versus man-made) was in a small blow-out of a sand dune, where the bird was foraging. The bird landed several times on top of woody debris, after running on the ground, in the grass, or sneaking under pieces of wood, twice appearing with large insects in its mouth (one insect was possibly a Sawyer Beetle.) The bird then flew to other locations and perched, including trash cans, snow fencing, a pile of cement curbs, and on the roof and porches of the beach house. The flight from place to place was usually short in duration, and often upon landing, the bird would "bob" its body. When it landed on the cement curbing, it was hardly ever still, disappearing into the structure and re-appearing a few seconds later. At one point, when the bird landed 20 feet away from me at the base of the beach house wall, I watched it repeatedly raise and lower its head as if it were searching for bugs trapped in the bricks. It was a great experience watching this wren! Diagnostic marks: An active, perky wren, larger than all of our local wrens; head and back gray with fine, white speckles; whitish/gray throat and chest, finely streaked; buffy/pale orange flanks; dark eye, buffy eyebrow; slender, long bill; dark/black legs; white undertail coverts with black barring; cinnamon-colored rump seen in flight and the tail terminal band was seen when the bird spread its tail on landing.
