- Title
Intra-Summer Movement and Probable Dual Breeding of the Eastern Marsh Wren ( Cistothorus p. palustris); a Cistothorus Ancestral Trait?
- Authors
Robbins, Mark B.
- Abstract
Midwest breeding populations of the eastern North American Marsh Wren ( Cistothorus p. palustris) perform intra-summer movements presumably to breed at two different locations during the same summer. It appears that birds that initially breed during May-June move south to breed again during mid-July through August. Because this unique behavior is shared with its closest living relative, the North American Sedge Wren ( C. platensis stellaris), it may be an ancestral trait of Cistothorus.
