The Sedge Wren is a secretive, streaky wren of sedge meadows and wet grassy fields, often detected by its dry, staccato chattering song that resembles two pebbles struck together. Unlike most North American songbirds it shows remarkable flexibility in nesting, sometimes producing two clutches in entirely different geographic locations within a single breeding season. It is easily overlooked due to its skulking behavior.
