crazy wren

Thanks jw, my mom was a gardener, big time green thumb, think I take after her. Nothing makes me happier than messing around outside. And being surprised at what grows since I can never remember what I put where lol!

I have Carolina wrens here and last year a pair of House Sparrows began a nest in the birdhouse out back. The Wren came along and literally evicted the Sparrows, he started pulling out twigs and tossing them out! Hysterical to watch. I have a Phoebe who has returned to the same nest for the 3rd year under the roof behind the portico. Lots of birds have been passing through, have had Chipping Sparrows everyday. Nice pics! Love the frogs Fishin!

They are busy feeding these little guys!, they shut their beaks and freeze when you get near. The little yellow lines are the side of each beak, there are two in this picture. I did not want to bother them trying to get the ones that are further back in the nest.

well the wren is back, now further back in our storage area, one egg so far!

Right under our large blue pond floatie.

thats good means her others did hatch and fly ... she wouldnt come back again if her babies had been killed

Yep, just a slightly different place, about 8 feet further back....... told hubby that area off limits again!

And it is where we store our pvc parts, but she does not seem to mind us coming and going.
