The Marsh Wren is an energetic little bird small enough to fit comfortably in your hand. Secretive and reclusive, this bird makes its home in cattail and bulrush marshes. Chances are you’ll hear the wren before ever seeing it; the highly territorial males will often sing all day and through the night.
