- Comments: "Late, and uncommon for the park in general. Reddish-brown wren with a white eyebrow and prominent streaking on upper back, hiding under the phragmites on the Peninsula across from the Wellhouse. Responded to song playback with "chk" calls and eventually came into view long enough for me to take photos (and some brief audio). Successfully pished it out again so that Kathy and Maureen could get a look at the bird as well.
I'd seen a handful of reports about it over the last month, but none had been confirmed due to lack of documentation. I'd passed by this spot several times since, but only gave quick glances to try and find it. Upon seeing a report from Philip P. today, I set out to not only find, but document this bird. Fortunately, it was cooperative enough!"

- Comments: "In the phragmites on the Peninsula across from the Wellhouse, pointed out to Maureen Matthews and I by Ant Tab, who had just photographed it. (Thanks, Ant!) Our first glimpse was of a reddish brown wren flying, then later Maureen and I had a better look at it working its way through the phrags, when we were able to see its reddish brown body with dark streaks, its white eyebrow and dark cap"
