Larry Jeanblanc, Julie Karlson, and I were walking a trail at Buck Creek
State Park in Clark County this morning when I heard a Marsh Wren singing.
It seemed very strange because we weren't close to a marsh. We were on a
mowed trail at an opening with about 2 feet high grass with shrubs (mostly
honeysuckle) surrounding the area on most sides. We were close to a road and
there was an open field across the road. I at first wondered if something
could be imitating the wren. We walked to the east of where the bird was
singing so that the light would be good. It kept singing and Larry spotted
it. Then Julie and I were able to get good looks at it. It was definitely a
Marsh Wren. I have never seen one that wasn't in a marsh.
