Christopher Collins and I located a pair of SEDGE WRENS this morning at the Great Miami Mitigation Bank in Montgomery County. They were on the west side, along the north-south trail. For locals, this is just past "tree island." The male is very vocal, which is what made me first realize what I was looking at. We then saw the male fly off with grass in its beak, so it seems they are building a nest. The female popped up shortly after and gave us great looks as the male sang further down the field. 

Also of note, there were at least 6 Dickcissels in the same area of the field. A male and female were sitting in the same dead tree, and the males were quite vocal on their territories.
