Worthington's Marsh Wren

C.p. griseus (Brewst.)

A southern sub-species of the long-billed marsh wren, being lighter and more gray in colour; its breeding habits are probably identical.

Breeding Range--"The coast region of South Carolina and Georgia." (The A. O. U. checklist.)

725.1. Marian's Marsh Wren: C.p. marianee Scott.

Resembling the long-billed marsh wren, but darker, smaller, and with the under parts barred.

Breeding Range--The Gulf coast of Florida.

These birds are found in salt-water or brackish marshes, where they breed; the nests are described as similar to those of the long-billed marsh wren.
