That is wonderful Bill! It was driving me crazy because there is so little habitat there, and I thought that I certainly should have been able to relocate the bird if it was indeed a Marsh Wren. But, these birds do not require much habitat, and they're secretive enough on their breeding and wintering grounds, so who knows just how darn skulky and silent they may be during migration! The other funny thing is that I thought I saw the bird fly over to exactly where you described, but both times that I went over there, all I could find were a Swamp and Song Sparrow. Crazy. Thanks Bill!
