Sedge Wren at Prewitt Reservoir (Logan County)

[David Dowell]

A SEDGE WREN was calling often and seen occasionally this morning, and it is potentially re-findable if calling again.  From the easternmost dam parking area (in Logan County), head east on the dirt road below the dam.  There are signs for "State Recreation Area" and "Fish Management" along this road.  Several hundred yards down the road, on the other side of a barbed wire fence, is a small marsh with some reeds, willows, and Russian olives.  The wren was on the near side of this marsh.  Other landmarks in the area are a post with a red reflector on it, and some large cottonwood trunks cut up in sections.

The marsh also had a Marsh Wren and a late Gray Catbird.  Other birds in the area include Eastern Bluebirds.  There is a Common Loon on the water.
