Description

Marsh Wren - Making Its Move by Debra Martz While you can often hear Marsh Wrens singing...just as often you DON'T see them! They spend a large amount of time under the reeds and on the marsh floor snapping up tiny moursels of food aka insects. But this one surprised me by making an appearance to the top of the dead reeds several times. Captured in Port Aransas, Texas January 7th.

Cool fact from Audobon.org "A sputtering, bubbling song among the cattails is a giveaway that the Marsh Wren is at home. A patient watcher eventually will see the bird as it slips furtively through the reeds or bounces to the top of a stem for a look around. Industrious male Marsh Wrens build "dummy nests" in their nesting territories, occasionally up to twenty or more; most of these are never used for raising young, but the adults may sleep in them during other seasons."
