| Sedge Wren | 1992 | Jul-Sep | Wyoming | Recorded at about 40' in grassy edge of Phelps Swamp — closer observation not possible because of swamp and pond between the bird and observer. The bird was recorded in very dense fog and was identified chiefly by its call — a dry, staccato "chap-chap-chap-chap" which the bird uttered every 10-15 seconds for 5-10 minutes. Mostly the calls were in fours, but a few were in threes. (At no time did I hear it add the "chrrr" at the end of the calls.) I went back to the swamp after the fog lifted, but could not locate the bird. I am familiar with the Sedge Wren call. having heard it several times in the 1950s and 1960s when it was not quite as scarce as it is today. I have also heard it on probable breeding sites in Michigan. I recognized the call immediately, but still checked it with tapes when I got home, and I was still positive of the identification. To the best of my knowledge this is the 1st Co. record. Bill Reid |
