[obol] Wrentit

Seth and Tim,

Yes, looks like a foggy day and the subjects are out there in the middle of it.  Even though the bird subjects are "fogged" in and not very clear, I tend to agree with Tim's call.  However, I'm basing my call on where the birds are located.  Have watched and captured lots of Bushtits and Wrentits and what caught my eye right-a-way was that the birds are pretty much out in the open.  It's not often you can get ONE Wrentit out of the brush to say nothing about TWO.  And, they (Wrentits) don't tend to get very far from the ground.  Also, in spite of the fuzzy photos, the shape and what color you can extract from the photos, they do appear to be Bushtits.

Anyway, my 2 birds' worth, Dennis (north of Grants Pass)

  Dear Seth,

              These look more like Bushtits to me than Wrentits.  I think that the birds have tails that look too short for them to be Wrentits.

  Sincerely,

  Tim Janzen

  I posted the 3 awful pics of the suspected Wrentits here http://portlandbirds.blogspot.com/ I don't think anyone will be able to see much but I thought I would try. Thanks to all who responded with questions and suggestions.
