Marsh Wrens are beautiful birds found, you guessed it, in marshes.  They can look very similar to Sedge Wrens, and in fact, Sedge Wrens were once known as "Short-billed Marsh Wrens."  There are two relatively easy ways to distinguish them, though.  Marsh Wrens have a thick white eye stripe and no streaking on the crowns of their heads.
