Field guide to the rare animals of Florida. Young wrens are very loud and can be heard up to 30 meters (98.4 feet) away days before fledging (Kroodsman and Verner 1997).įlorida Natural Areas Inventory. Females lay three to five eggs in one nesting and incubation lasts 11 to 12 days. During nesting and incubation, the female will protect the nest as the male will show no interest in it (Wheeler 1931). Males also court females by singing to them (Lesperance 2001). These nests are used for courting females as the female will pick one mate and finish the nest by adding fine grasses to the inner lining. Marsh wrens usually nest in colonies building 5-12 dome-shaped nests with a side entrance. During courtship, males will fly up to seven meters (23 feet) over their marsh habitat in a showing of territorial ownership (Kale 1996). Marian’s marsh wrens prefer nesting in cordgrass ( Spartina alterniflora) andblack needle rush (Juncus roemarianus) that are located along tidal creeks during the months of March and April. The diet of the Marian’s marsh wren consists of spiders, insects, and invertebrates (Lesperance 2001).
