House Wren, Troglodytes aedon [SR -, u-c, u-c, u *** n b]
House Wrens have been uncommon at Cedar Creek, but have
been increasing and since 1987 have been common. Jeff Burns attempted
to study House Wrens at Cedar Creek in the 1970's but was unable because
of their scarcity. They build nests in practically any available cavity.
They are especially common along the edges of the many marshes at Cedar
Creek, using old chickadee nests and natural cavities.

Sedge Wren, Cistothorus platensis [SR -, u-c, u-c, - *]
Sedge Wrens are summer residents along some of the larger
sedge meadows and marshes at Cedar Creek, notably along the south shore
of the huge marsh south of Fish Lake, the large marsh southeast of the
lab, and the marsh along Cedar Creek south of 24. They presumably nest
there, but there are no nest records.

Marsh Wren, C. palustris [SR -, u-c, u-c, - ** n]
Marsh Wrens are summer residents along the large marshes
north and south of Fish Lake Road. A nest with two young was along Cedar
Creek north of the 24 bridge in 1992.
