Late this afternoon a Winter Wren which had passed the
day in or near our camp wood pile sang several times in an under-
tone but giving the full song in a finished manner.

It is not at all unusual
to find Winter Wrens in
rather open places at their
season of migration. Here
do they cling as on two sides
of their forest cover when
on their breeding grounds. I see
this afternoon, while starting some
shoes of the leaves in my course,
I started one from under large
stones or boulders at the water's
edge, a road or more the nearest
trees or bushes, among large boulders
at the very edge of the water
where it may have gone to
drink although I suspect it
went something for spiders or
other insects. I have definitely found
Winter Wrens among tall grass on the
lakeshore but never before, I think,
among perfectly bare rocks
such as these just mentioned.
