This morning (21 Aug 2005) I surveyed the tall, wet grass at Seven Island
Wildlife Reserve in SE Knox County to determine how many Sedge Wrens
established
territories in August. I was able to detect at least 5 territorial singing
males in the field across the road from the house and barn beyond the horse
stable. One seemed to have a female in his territory, but no sign of nesting.
The birds can easily be seen from the road. This habitat consists of Big Blue
Stem and Indian Grass about 6 feet tall, and was not used extesively by any
other species for nesting throughout the summer (except a few Red-Winged Black
Birds).
Other species at SIWR...
Ruby-throated Hummingbird (1)
Osprey (1)
Field Sparrow (5)
Indigo Bunting (everywhere)
Canada Goose (1)
