  • Two Wren Nests At The Moment

    There are two active Carolina Wren (Thryothorus ludovicianus) nests here at the cabin right now. One at the front door, in an actual, small, bird house. The other at the back door, in a typical Carolina Wren habit, built in a basket that is hanging from the ceiling of the porch. They are quite creative…

  • Chatterbox Neighbor

    A tiny guy that I see and hear every day. It is quite the chatterbox and if I didn’t know better I would think that it was scolding me. But surely that isn’t the case. We’re neighbors after all. It is at the feeder often and every evening it will choose either the bird house…

Nestlings grow quickly. Hatching to fledging takes 12 to 14 days. Thank goodness. I’m worn out just watching Ma and Pa.

    More Nesting Activities

    It pleases me greatly that Carolina Wrens (Thryothorus ludovicianus) chatter around the woods near my home all year long. And nearly every year a pair will choose some strange object in which to build their nest and raise a family. Of course I provide the strange objects, hanging them from the front and back porch…

    Carolina Wren

    A whole season without putting out sunflowers seeds, peanuts, peanut butter, suet. I survive since the hummingbirds keep me entertained. Fifteen or twenty of the swarming, going round and round the cabin, slurping up their syrup. Now they’re gone. Time for the other birds to keep me company again. Carolina Wren, Thryothorus ludovicianus.
