The Marsh Wren is one of those birds that is heard more then see. They are found in cattails, bulrushes of the very dense marshes.
They sing in the open. They pop up just to investigate odd noises.
Their nest is a globe-shaped mass attached to stems above the water. The males defends the nesting area. The males may have 2 or more mates. The adult often puncture the eggs of other birds nesting near by. The male also builds several incomplete nests in their territory, made by cattails , bulrushes or bushes in marsh, usually just above the water. Both parents feed their young.
