The Marsh Wren is a secretive bird that hides in the tall grass and brush of marshes, so it is not easy to see. While it has been spotted at different times throughout the year, the most frequently local observations of it are made in late September and early October. And that is when I saw it, today.
True to its name, the Marsh Wren was seen on the edge of a marsh perched inconspicuously in a Red Osier Dogwood, a plant that similarly favours a marshy setting.
Perfect Alistair! I’ve seen them before in Creston but never so clear and up close. Thank you.
