[EBB Sightings] Winter Wren - not

Winter wrens are easy to see along the Tres Sendas
Trail in Redwood Park, readily accessible from the
West Ridge and French Trails.  On May 27, 2006 I saw a
family group of at least six or seven birds on the far
side of the stream, some within 10 feet of us.  We
watched as several young birds were fed.
