[EBB Sightings] Winter Wren - not

I'd like to add to Steve's note that we also recorded nesting winter
wrens during a "Birds in Forested Landscape" study during 2002.  We had
sightings in April and June. They were north of the intersection of
Pinehurst and Canyon roads, in redwoods on EBMUD property, on the west
side of San Leandro Creek. They are in that area most of the year. Sorry
to say, though they are accessable with a trial permit at the Canyon Y,
the area I mention is about 700 feet from a public trail. However, the
habitat is the same as near the trail.

Hello everyone,
Just thought I would mention, in case some are not
aware, that Winter Wrens are permanent residents in
small numbers in Alameda County along the Stream Trail
in Redwood Regional Park. They were confirmed nesting
not far south of the Ala/CC line near the Fern Hut
during the Alameda County Breeding Bird Atlas and are
likely still present.
