The Wren Show

Carolina Wren that is.


I had been noticing a Carolina Wren around the Triple Stump, seemingly catching insect after insect there.

Cool I thought. But I had it backwards.

It (they?) were bringing bugs to the Stump. The image above? It is a nest, and there are several chicks in the "hole".


Mom or Dad was not happy with my snooping around the nest, so I quickly took some (bad) images with my phone and moved off. But you can make out four chicks in there.

Very cool.


And from our living room we can watch as the parents fly in, with those insects, to feed the brood.

Which may be the third this year?
