Friday we walked the trail to Mary's Rock from Thorton Gap.  About 1/4 up we 
heard a Winter Wren.  Then a Pileated Woodpecker flew to a branch of a large 
diameter snag.  When I looked at the woodpecker with my binoculars, I saw the 
singing wren at the very top of the snag.  We watched and listened for over 5 
minutes.  It was too far out to see details, but the short cocked tail was 
visible.  We left it singing.  When we came down the trail, we heard it sing 
a few songs, but did not see it.
