    : Jun-Aug with records from Northeast Creek, Upper Bass Harbor Marsh, and Schooner Head Marsh. No recent confirmed breeding records but could at any time.

    Migrant: late Apr-late May and again late Aug-early Oct with to mid Oct.

    Miscellany: In 1968, a male Marsh Wren built multiple ‘dummy' nests in the cattails along the edge of Beaver Dam Pond but no certain female was seen and no eggs or young were found.
