Ma and Pa Carolina Wren

Carolina Wren (Thryothorus ludovicianus)

The two of them so active. Back and forth from the nest. Bringing morsels of yummy caterpillars for their nestlings. Only stopping from time to time to sing with great bravado.

Nestlings grow quickly. Hatching to fledging takes 12 to 14 days.

Thank goodness. I’m worn out just watching Ma and Pa.
