photos from banding, we caught 21 swamp sparrows and 1 sedge wren. Im not a bird bander (yet) but I help flush grassland birds towards the nets, we use milk jugs filled with pebbles and run through the field, pushing birds to the nets.

BOTD: Sedge Wren

Photo: Kelly Colgan Azar

"Related to the Marsh Wren but different in some key habits, the Sedge Wren is a rather mysterious creature for many birders. It is often hard to see as it creeps about in damp sedge meadows of the east and midwest, occasionally coming up to give its dry rattling song. As a summer resident it is oddly erratic in many areas, showing up and breeding one summer and then vanishing again. Overall, its numbers seem to be gradually declining."

Sedge Wren and Gray-head Coneflower

Location: John E Pearce Provincial Park, Wallacetown, Ontario, Canada

“A tiny russet brown Sedge Wren grasps two long, parallel stems as if they were stilts. The bird’s head looks to the left of the frame. Green grasses surround the bird, and yellow flowers are at the bottom of the image.”
