Hi All,

For a little more on the Sinaloa Wren, see the Arizona Field Ornithologists website (http://www.azfo.org/gallery/Sinaloa_Wren_Patagonia_Brown_20080825.html) for more details. Included is the description along with a photo and voice recording. I looked for it a bit that first afternoon and again this morning, but so far no one has been able to relocate it. An extremely cool record!

Thanks for the update Chris. Let's hope it gets refound. I hear there's a possibility it was present on Friday, so maybe not a one day wonder.

Hi All,

I went back today to Patagonia and was able to relocate the Sinaloa Wren along with a bunch of other birders. It even perched up for a minute, so I was able to get a few pix as well as some voice recording. Additional pix are on the AZFO site (http://www.azfo.org/gallery/Sinaloa_Wren_Patagonia_Brown_20080825.html) now.

Well done Chris! Perseverance paid off. Nice photos. I imagine quite a few will be out looking tomorrow.
