Sedge Wren

11 cm (4-5") The Sedge Wren is uncommon and local in central and eastern North America. Grassy marshes, sedges, grassy meadows.

The song, sreaked crown and back, buffy undertail coverts and faint eyebrow stripe help distinguish this bird from the more common Marsh Wren. 

Was called Short-billed Marsh Wren.

Tiny secretive bird more often heard than seen.

Song: dry chattering "chop chop chop chop chop chopper-rrrrrr".
