I spent quite some time yesterday and today with the Marsh wren. It's quite=
vocal, but for over an hour today all we =C2=A0could get were very brief g=
limpses as it flitted about low in the thick cat tails. At one point it was=
briefly joined by a Common yellowthroat. I'll keep trying for a photo.

Hi All,
Today at about 4:15 I had three quick glimpses of what I believe is a marsh=
wren at Miner's Marsh in Kentville. The bird was in the cat tails at the f=
ollowing Google Maps marker:
45.079340, -64.488918
The continuous scolding was what caught my attention. I stood for about ten=
minutes waiting for the bird to come into view, I saw it briefly three tim=
es. A dark cap with light supercillium and then a dark line on the side of =
its
face through the eye. The back was dark brown with light streaks over the =
upper back. The tail was cocked upward once when the bird briefly appeared.=
It skulked in the cat tails and the movement of the cat tails revealed its=
position. In all I saw the bird
for only 15 to 18 seconds! (three views each five to six seconds)
The Cornell bird site's scold note recording matches what I heard this afte=
rnoon.
Hopefully the bird will remain in location as one did here in the past!!
