Definitely not a Marsh Wren but I am positive there is a Bewick's wren in
there, (typical raspy sounds) I also believe you have recorded a song
sparrow too on about 54 seconds the other song sparrow is calling back to
the main songster. At 1:30 this is a typical song sparrow call.

OK, the recording now sounds like a Marsh Wren. It *could* be a
Bewick's doing an imitation, but it goes on so long and consistently I doub=
t
it.
The behavior is more like a Marsh than a Bewick's. Marshes tend to
stay low and hidden in the rushes/cattails/tules and are *hardly ever* away
from water. Bewick's are more likely to perch high and in sight, and are
*mostly* over dry ground.
