		The Marsh Wren is absent from northern Vancouver Island, the Northern Mainland Coast and Queen Charlotte Islands of the Coast and Mountains, the Northern Boreal Mountains (except for a record from Atlin), and virtually all of the Sub-Boreal Interior (contrary to Godfrey 1986).
		In the interior, the Marsh Wren is mainly migratory except for small wintering populations in the Okanagan valley and possibly the Creston valley.
		The Marsh Wren nests in isolated pairs or in loose colonies, from near sea level to 60 m elevation on the coast and from 270 to 1,040 m elevation in the interior.

		Nesting.--The prairie marsh wren nests in wet marshes, where the water is from a few inches to 2 or 3 feet deep, along the banks of tidal rivers where the water is brackish (in Massachusetts), along sluggish inland streams, around the shores of ponds, and in inland marshes or sloughs.
		Marsh wrens' eggs are unique in color, the general effect being dull brownish, "Verona brown," to "snuff brown," or the color of dry, powdered baking chocolate.
		The marsh wren is a persistent singer, chiefly during the early morning and the evening hours, but during the height of the season it sings all day and often at night.

	The Great Wren Debate Revisited - by Barbara Boyle
		She studied the House wren for nearly thirty years, observing and recording all aspects of the bird, including feeding, courtship, breeding, nest life and the wren's relationship with its own and other species of birds.
		Regarding wrens, her observations led her to conclude that it was the male, and most likely the unmated males, that were so destructive to other species; the females reserving their destructive tendencies for each other.
		It is a fact that wrens are the number one problem on a bluebird trail, and "bluebirders" have been aware of the wren problem for quite some time.However, little attention has been given to how the over population of wrens is affecting the many songbird species that nest and feed in our backyards.

		In semipermanent wetlands, the presence of Marsh Wrens was positively related to the percent of wetland area that was vegetated and to dominance of thick-stemmed plants.

		In such places, the Marsh Wren is found in great numbers, from the beginning of April to the middle of October, when it retires southward, many individuals wintering on the south-western shores of the Floridas, and along the mouths of the Mississippi.
		The nest is nearly of the size and shape of a cocoa-nut, and is formed of dried grasses, entwined in a circular manner, go as to include in its mass several of the stems and leaves of the sedges or other plants, among which it is placed.
		The food of the Marsh Wren principally consists of minute aquatic insects, and equally diminutive mollusca, which it procures by moving along the blades of the grasses, or the twigs of other plants, which it does with great activity.

	Birds: The Marsh Wren
		This species, however, has a peculiar habit of building several nests every season, and it is suggested that these are built to procure protection for the female, in order that when search is made for the nest where she is sitting, the male may lure the hunter to an empty nest.
		But when the eggs are laid, the Wren will seldom abandon her treasure, and when her tender brood are depending on her for food, she will never forsake them, even though the young be handled, or the female bird be caught on the nest while feeding them.
		This was fastened to the branch, and the birds promptly took possession of it, their numbers increasing nightly, until at least forty Wrens crowded into the box which did not seem to afford room for half the number.

	Birds - Short-billed Marsh Wren
		Where red-winged flbirds like to congregate in oozy pastures or near boggy woods, the little short-billed wren may more often be heard than seen, for he is more shy, if possible, than his long-billed cousin, and will dive down into the sedges at your approach, very much as a duck disappears under water.
		But if you see him at all, it is usually while swaying to and fro as he clings to some tall stalk of grass, keeping his balance by the nervous, jerky tail motions characteristic of all the wrens, and singing with all his might.
		But while fond of moist places, both for a home and feeding ground, it will be noticed that these wrens have no special fondness for running water, so dear to their long-billed relatives.

		The salt marsh environment is extremely harsh on feathers, especially for a bird that spends more time moving through the salt-encrusted grass than flying over it.
