As i said in my e-mail, my first choice was a winter wren then a
Junco. Agreed, Juncos are found mostly on the ground, they are also
very abundant this time of year being called the "snow birds" we have
about 200 on our property at the moment and some of them can be found
on the bark of trees picking moths and bugs off between the bark. But
i certainly believe the sounds i heard was that of a winter wren but
again, Dan said" birds running up and down the bark of trees", Winter
wrens are more solitary than Juncos, It is just unusual, thats all....
