[birding] Re: [mid-valley-nature:587] article on winter wrens

That's a good article. In my experience Winter Wrens sing loudest and 
longest when there is some competing noise. They even try to drown out 
my husband's chainsaw when we're clearing trails. Apparently, the 
loudest gets the girl, so it's no wonder that little wren in Seattle was 
working so hard to be heard over buses and voices and barking dogs, and 
a helicopter and train and truck.
