  Wren - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Only one wren, Troglodytes troglodytes, known as the Winter Wren in North America, also occurs in Europe, where it is commonly known simply as the Wren.
The wren also features in the legend of Saint Stephen, the first Christian martyr, who supposedly was betrayed by the noisy bird as he attempted to hide from his enemies.
The tradition, and the significance of the wren as a symbol and sacrifice of the old year, is discussed in Sir James Frazer's The Golden Bough.

 Sedge Wren Detailed Information - Montana Animal Field Guide
Sedge Wrens are adapted to foraging in shrubby grasslands, owing to their small size, relatively long bills, and longer legs in comparison to other wren species using forested habitats (Niemi 1985).
Sedge Wren eggs are ovate or pointed-ovate, white and unmarked, smooth and moderately glossy (Harrison 1978), and measure approximately 16 x 12 mm (Bent 1948).
Sedge Wrens arrive at nesting areas as early as mid-April (Bent 1948) in some regions or as late as July in others (Lingle and Bedell 1989), and have been observed nesting as late as the end of September (Schwilling 1982).

 Effects of Management Practices on Grassland Birds: Sedge Wren
Sedge Wrens breed from eastern Saskatchewan through southern Manitoba and southern Ontario to southern Maine and New Brunswick, south from northeastern Montana and central North Dakota, through eastern South Dakota, to eastern Kansas and eastern Oklahoma, and east to New Jersey, Rhode Island, and New Hampshire (National Geographic Society 1987).
Sedge Wrens typically were found in sedge meadows in Wisconsin and Minnesota, but during dry years they used hayfields, grasslands, and oldfields (Faanes 1981).

 Sedge Wren Habitat Model   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Sedge wrens use densely vegetated sedge meadows, wet hayfields, upland margins of ponds and marshes, and coastal brackish marshes (Gibbs and Melvin 1992).
The available information suggests that sedge meadows, which offer saturated soils, with or without shallow standing water, are optimal nesting habitat, and that other types may be used when optimal habitat is unavailable or of limited availability.
The sedge wren model identified wet grassland and sedge covers that were within its known range (see below), and which had a minimum area of approximately 2 acres (8 30-m cells).

 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.
The home is made of sedge grasses, softly lined with the softer meadow grass or plant-down, and placed in a tussock of tall grass, or even upon the ground.
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.
