> As this is my first time posting, I'll quickly introduce myself. My name

> working on my master's degree in the School of Aquatic and Fishery Sciences
> at UW.
> My question here stems from the fact that I am new to the area, having
> arrived from the Eastern US where House Wrens are abundant. While birding
> in Discovery Park this afternoon, hiking on the Hidden Valley Trail towards
> the water treatment plant, I and my friend heard a bird that we immediately
> identified as a House Wren by its call. To double check ourselves, we
> played the song on iBird and were satisfied with hearing the exact call that
> was coming from the bushes. We thought nothing more of it until entering
> our observations into e-bird, where we received an "Is this really what you
> saw?" and realized that this would be a new first arrival date for the state
> (by one day) and the county (by two days).
>
> Is is possible that we were hearing something else that sounds similar to a
> House Wren?

> Thanks for the help!
