“He who shall hurt the little wren shall never be beloved by men.” ~ William Blake


Mom comes back from her mission with a grasshopper and a
grub. It's amazing how that little bird carries all those insects
in it's mouth :)


Wary of my presence, she flies in from the side of the bird
box.








She finally makes it to the opening of the box and is greeted
by a hungry baby :)




Two babies, two bugs :)

For The Love of Birdwatching


These baby wrens kept their momma and daddy very busy.


The second she would leave, they would start becoming very
vocal :) It was fun watching this little one poking his head out
of the bird box. I was afraid he might fall out.


Mama Wren would fly to the field next to our house, then come
back with more food. This time she had some sort of grub worm.


As you can see, the impatient baby wren was ecstatic that mom
was back with more grub :)


The baby quickly gobbles down the grub.


Mama takes a short break,


Then flies back to the field for more food for her hungry brood.
The day after I took these pictures, the two babies left the nest.
Wherever they are I hope they're safe!

Yesterday, I noticed Mr. and Mrs. Wren flying in and out of the
bird box. They would pull stuff out, then take in more nesting
materials. Hopefully they are getting ready to raise another family.
I hope so!
