Marsh Wren
They Eastern Marsh Wren breeds from the Atlantic coast to Nebraska. In the western United States the Wren lives there all year round. Some Marsh Wrens breed and live along coasts of the southern Atlantic and Gulf Coast States all year. Marsh Wrens prefer a wetland habitat. Cattails and bulrush are the vegetation that they choose. Whether salt, brackish, fresh water marshes or wintering grounds the breeding grounds are similar. Habitat destruction is the greatest threat to the Marsh Wren's life. Ruining marshes and wetlands as breeding or wintering grounds finds a decline in the wren population.

Migration Update
As waterfowl seasons open in the Northern states and Canada, hunters are learning first-hand how local populations fared during the past breeding season. Except for early migrating species like the blue-winged teal and pintails, most hunters are still waiting with anticipation for the birds from “the north.”
