The ebird report is a "traveling count" covering a distance which is estimated at some 3 miles, so the reported Wrentit might not have been right at the lake, but in a clearcut near the trailhead. I see that a Willow Flycatcher made it onto the checklist, so that makes two members of the "Cascades/Coast Range clearcut/reprod" species assemblage.
