[Mnbird] Carolina Wren? Lilydale/Mendota Heights, Dakota

[linda whyte]

Hiking the bike trail, just west of the 35E bridge, this morning around
7:45, I had a second glimpse of a Wren who caught my attention by its long,
bright white supercilium. The bird was foraging on the wooded bluff side of
the trail. Its only vocalizations were a few alarm rattles; it stayed
hidden in the shadows of the shrubs. Unless there are wet areas on the
bluff top above this spot, it seems unlikely it would be frequented by a
Marsh Wren. This bird also lacked the patches of striping a Marsh Wren has,
and seemed longer and leaner in shape and bearing. It's not one of the many
House Wrens, so I'm thinking it's a Carolina.
If anyone ventures that way and can confirm its identity, I'd appreciate
hearing about it.
