Marsh Wren (Cistothorus palustris) Season: Spring, Summer As with all the other predominantly marshoriented birds (Soras, rails, etc), the Marsh Wren and its close cousin the Sedge Wren have a propensity for being hard to spot. But when it is seen it is a treat – look for it clinging to wetland vegetation, often with each foot wrapped around a different stalk. Fun Fact: Marsh Wrens are boisterous songsters that sing not only at dawn and dusk, but sometimes throughout the night.
