The Marsh Wren

from BirdNote Daily · host BirdNote

Some bird-lovers have tagged the Marsh Wren the "Heinz 57 variety" bird, because scientists have recorded 57 different variations of its song. And nightfall doesn't faze these birds. A male may sing straight through the night. Marsh Wrens usually forage out of view, hopping up only for brief moments. You're most likely to see only movement among the cattails. It's just one of many species to benefit from the North American Wetlands Conservation Act. More info and transcript at BirdNote.org. Want more BirdNote? Subscribe to our weekly newsletter.
