The Winter Wren is an occasional winter resident at LaSalle Marina. You might hear it singing, a high-pitched, varied, and rapid series of trills and chatters. If you’re lucky, you might see it scurrying, mouse-like, near the ground, or occasionally pop up into the open. They often hold their tail cocked-up, typical of wrens, and their roundness puts them in the category of “borbs” — bird orbs!
About Bob:
Robert (Bob) Bell is an exploration geologist who had to retire after contracting Lyme disease. After settling in Ancaster, he quickly discovered the therapeutic benefits of birding as a coping mechanism for dealing with his chronic pain and illness. He is the author of “Out of the Lyme Light and into the Sunlight: Birding as Therapy for the Chronically Ill.” Bob is passionate about sharing his joy of birds and birding, and has given a number of talks on this subject on behalf of BurlingtonGreen. He would be delighted to have you follow his book and birding activity, by sending a friend request to https://www.facebook.com/TheBirderBob/, or by following him on Twitter at @ThebirderBob, BlueSky at @thebirderbob.bsky.social, or Instagram, @thebirderbob.
