    I was pretty sure I saw a Carolina Wren today in my backyard in =
Golden Valley, Hennepin Co., but I could not relocate it. However, I did =
hear some strange vocalizations, including a descending "garrr", with a =
trill at the end, (lower and more musical; bubbly than Red-bellied =
Woodpecker.) There were at least two vocalizing. Has anyone heard such =
calls from Carolina Wrens?
    While I was looking for them, a Dark-morph Rough-legged Hawk flew =
over my backyard. The wingbeats of this bird are pretty distinctive, as =
I learned with my brief view of this bird. She (most likely) was flying =
westward. A lifer--and a backyard--first! Good birding!
