Plenty of Marsh Wren at Presque Isle State Park, but hard to photograph due to (i) inaccessible swamp habitat, &/or (ii) hunkered down in the cattails/reeds. Typical shots:
Here, lucked upon a very vocal/loud individual (audio clip below) in cattails fairly close to the Long Pond Trail. Strategy: carefully bushwhack along a slight deer trail to the edge of the marsh, then wait. Fortunately, after 5-10 minutes and lots of rustling, it popped up briefly into open sight:
Edit: further to received feedback, here’s audio (recorded using the Merlin app) of this bird (also Song Sparrow in background):
Listened to its call on the net. Quite the vocalizations!
Nice tracking done by the Fearless Leader….he leads us Team Members through the swamp to find the bird!
Once more into the swamp, dear friends, once more!
In-line audio added!
