Hi All, I'm very glad that so many of you have been able to enjoy the Montgomery Sedge Wren and I hope that this continues. I understand that the bird does not offer long clear looks with great frequency but speak from experience when I say that patience here, will pay off.
Recently there has been enough foot traffic through the high grass leading to the nesting area that there is now a clearly beaten down path. Once again, please give this bird a wide birth and exercise patients while viewing from a distance. Additionally, the area north of the path (nest area) has been annexed by the DEC to allow these birds an undisturbed nesting site. I strongly advise against venturing from the mowed path. With the appropriate consideration, we should shortly enjoy multiple Sedge Wrens.
