In the Oak tree I hung a log cabin bird house...
weathered and old but nonetheless....
occupied
I know because the Wren chooses to stand upon the
little wooden chair
and is peering into the hole...
and just the other day... I hear peeping sounds and see
little heads popping out. I count three.
What must they think seeing the world for the
first time
It won't be long before these little ones fledge
They sense or hear when food is arriving and
lean out and open wide
"Hey mom .. up here!"
"Can't you see I'm starving?"
In an instant ... down the hatch
It's amazing how often this occurs.. Both parents feed
and they arrive every 10 minutes with a fresh bug.
You better be ready cause it happens in only seconds..
Then mom leans in and out she comes with
the 'sack' in mouth...
Double occupancy...
Meanwhile in the back yard...
The little yellow house is now
occupied by a different Wren pair. No babies
popping heads out here.
But it won't be long.. Mom keeps a watchful eye at all times
Always one of them near the nest
Mom and Dad look a like so you never know which one is there
But I'm assured there are babies as they are
carrying insects to the nest
and little green worms
I'll try to find time to catch some more action as
the nest progresses..

Wrens are so sweet, and they work so hard. It is surprising they have time to sing as they do. I love all your pictures..especially seeing the little mouths waiting to be fed.
J, Great turn of phrase on the title and what a wonderful series of photos!

How PRECIOUS!! I miss our little baby birds! One question though, what's the "sack"?
Great captures! I love wrens and having some babies around the yard would be awesome, but I don't attract wrens. Lucky you! The sack drop is always gross though!
Wrens are fun to have around.They always seem cheerful.Your pictures Show the nest activity so well.
Blessings,Ruth

Thanks for stopping by and the 'sack' is poop! haha
Bird Girl...Yes light is the key to better pictures. Under that tree is miserable..nothing seems to work unless the sun shines! And we've had darn little of it lately.
These are excellent shots. The house wrens are doing a number on the worms. I noticed they are under my bushes, picking up bugs I guess and feeding them as well.
Very nice post.
Thanks for visiting my Birds Blog.
Great pics! I love the little wooden chair on the first birdhouse! hehe
Lovely pix! I'm with Maureen - I said "how precious" aloud. In many senses of the word.
Thank you.
Great to see the house of those birds..
