Sedge Wren
(Cistothorus platensis)
Sedge Wren
The migratory pattern
of this species in
Montana is poorly
known, and few records
exist for northeastern
Montana. No specifi c information exists,
but appropriate wetland habitat is present in
the areas of Montana in which the species
has been recorded. Conservation concerns
include: lack of information, and humandirected
disturbance to wetland habitats
(i.e. impacts of cattle grazing, draining,
vegetation manipulation,
invasion of non-native
plant and animal
species.). Conservation
strategies include: determining
breeding status and identifying
breeding locations; increasing surveying
and monitoring projects; and managing
conservation of wetland habitats known to
be used by sedge wrens.
