Baby Wren Feeding Time!!

These house wrens nest in the box on our front porch almost every year. We love watching and listening to them!

House Wren setting up House

This Wren spent days prepping a nest. Unfortunately the English Sparrows chased her off and moved in. We quickly remedied the situation by modifying the “front door” to the perfect wren size. The modification was a success and the wren was able to reclaim her home!

These baby house wrens fledged the same day I took the photo!

Male house wren seeks second mate!

After leaving his first mate to raise the young in our back yard nest box, this male house wren thought he might as well set up shop with a new gal in the front yard wren box. In this photo, he displays his excitement and enthusiasm at the notion she may pick him… and this potential nest site. Though he made valiant attempts to entice, she remained unconvinced.

House Wren Feeding Chick

When the chicks in the House Wren nest started to get loud and raucous between feedings, I knew it was time to set up the camera and tripod and take a seat in a lawn chair where I could get some photos without affecting the feedings.

What took you so long?
