Baby Wrens





We have babies!
The old cigar box proved to be the cutest little house
and those eggs were laid, hatched and babies fed in
a matter of days!  The other wrens in the tiny bird house
are just now sitting on eggs.  Dad comes and goes....
pictures of them on another day.

  1. No babies here yet but I have enjoyed watching the process over at your place. :) That old cigar box is perfect for watching things develop! Who knew?

  3. Great photos, Betsy. Don't you love having nesting birds. I feel so privileged, My tree swallows just left to live their life and a house wren is now a busy mom in the other house. So fun.

  8. Sure gave them the perfect spot as they feed away. Did they appreciate you taking pics now that they are hatched?

    2. Glad Mrs Wren was not too cantankerous!!! . . . ad too fussy about the architecture and amenities . . lol
      She would never get a better house than that old cigar box and she knew it, so he was let iff the hook a bit before he started courting.
      Yes my kids flew the nest but come back when they want something . . . lol
