Carolina Wrens.

[*Molly*]

I woke up to a nice surprise this morning. I had made a few wren boxes, I put them in a safe place away from snakes & bad weather. I knew she had nested in the one. Its right by my bedroom window. I never expected to see the babies so soon.
Here are a few pics, its such a delight to watch them feeding their babies. These wrens come back every year after migration. I know its the same pair because the female comes in my bedroom, when she sees the window open. Its her alrighty.
Hope you like them.

Molly.

Thanks for helping the 'birds', I have been making bluebird houses out of 'downed hollow trees'.

Awesome post Molly,Good for you helping the little Wrens out.Great pictures! I purchased a different home after losing my old home to a flood. I sold the old place and left a Wren house that Ive had up for years at that place. Just because I lost my house didn't mean they had to lose theres. Ive put up a couple new ones at this place,hope I'm as lucky as you getting some in these houses. We will see.

Sorry to hear you lost your house to flooding. I too am leaving all the birds houses, also I have filled up the hummingbird feeder with sugar water, i'll leave that too for them. I'll just buy more when I move house. I sure will miss the wildlife here but am sure I'll see all new critters when i move.
Thanks for kind words.

Molly, that's got to be the cutest pic. Just a simple little house slapped together...I can make one of those too, I need to. Just maybe those Carolina wrens will quit building nests in my hanging flower pots or inside my rubber boots.

Judie, they were nesting in the power box, last year, also a pair nested in the window i had left open, between the window & mesh. The originals came back & nested in the box, i made. I was delighted, last night i saw some new ones or last years babies came back & nested in the window again 'sigh' oh well I'm not worried..
I did just slap the boxes together. I used old wooden blinds & glue. I knew that would suffice being under the horning, it wouldn't get wet, so should last.
Judie, you think the pics are cute, I am watching them all the time, I think there are 4 babies, they sure are hungry, the parents are none stop in & out.
When I move, I'm going to make sure, i make lots of bird houses, they sure do need protection.
Thanks Judie.

Very nice picture. We have wren houses up but have to put in much smaller holes so the Jays and other birds don't get the young ones.
