Home Is Where The Heart Is
We have a pair of Bewick’s Wrens that discovered an unoccupied bird house in our garden.
Bewick’s Wren
We made a nest out a former hanging pot holder and created a lid of sticks and pine cones. Bewick’s Wrens have used it for 2 years. It hangs on our patio.
First Look

My first ever nest box! Two baby Bewick’s wrens and a surprise cow bird baby. One egg didn’t hatch. Best box was about 3 feet from my front door! I completely fell in love! ❤

My first Bewick’s Wren nest
Normally I have Black-capped Chickadees nesting in this box, but this year, although they built the nest AND I saw an adult spending the night in the box (via nest cam), no eggs were laid. I didn’t see much activity and went to clean out their nest and found this… I hooked up the nest cam and there were 4-6 Bewick’s Wren nestlings in the box.

Bewick’s in a Boot
I kept seeing a wren fly off my porch, but I couldn’t see the nest. My dog was sniffing the boot and my husband pulled it off the rack to look inside. Sure enough, there was the nest. I moved a big bowl and some dog leashes to take the picture and then replaced them. I guess I won’t bother taking the boots in to be resoled. They’ve already been re-purposed.
