This is a new personal record count for winter wrens on the Island. My
previous high count was 11. Several cats have been turned loose and the
Island and one was trying to help my by stalking the Winter wrens. I tried
to think of a way to repay him so I gave him a free swimming lesson. He
caught on right away and was able to swim the entire width of the river.
Although I have to admit he looked less than grateful when he reached the
other bank. I’ll try to motivate him to practice his new hobby every chance
I get.
