[TN-Bird] Re: Bedford Lake & Winter Wren Q

Melissa,

I have heard a few different individual Winter Wrens sing this
winter.  For instance I have found them on 4 out of 5 CBCs so far. 
Mostly, I hear abbreviated versions, lasting about a quarter to a
half as long as the typical summer song.  I seem to have more luck
finding this species this winter than I typically do, so I'm not sure
if the amount of singing I hear is typical, but I believe it to be.

Charlie
