The Sedge Wren is a small, elusive wren of open, damp grasslands and sedge meadows. It is characterized by its streaked brown plumage and buzzy, mechanical song.
Where to spot
Breeds across central North America, migrating to the southeastern U.S. and eastern Mexico for winter. Found in damp grasslands, wet meadows, sedge marshes, and abandoned fields.
How to spot
Listen for its unique, dry, mechanical, and often chattering song emanating from dense vegetation. Look for it clinging to vertical stems or making short flights over grass, rarely perching prominently.
When to spot
Breeding season (spring-summer) in its northern range, migration in fall and spring. Most active and vocal during early mornings and evenings.

Male Sedge Wrens often build multiple 'dummy' nests, up to a dozen, in their territory, with the female choosing one to line and lay eggs in.
