While singing, it is usually seen clinging to the side of some tall swaying reed with its tail bent for- ward so far jis almost to touch the head, thus exhibiting in an exag- gerated manner a characteristic attitude of all the Wrens. This is less a species of the deep-water marshes than is the long- billed member of the genus, and often it will be found in places that are little more than damp meadows. It is remarkably mouselike in its habits and movements, and can be flushed only with extreme difficulty. Ernest E. Thompson. 726. Cistothorus palustris ( WUs.). Long-billed Wren.
