House Wrens Fledged Yesterday

Posted on June 29, 2020 by Richard

We have enjoyed the energy and singing of our House Wrens and wondered about their offspring, which they been feeding pretty continually the last week or two. It was only yesterday when I saw faces at the bird house entrance and I spent some time quietly watching them yesterday afternoon.

The youngsters were waiting, noisily, for lunch.

I saw one of the parents gathering a snack for them.

It was pretty noisy when food arrived. There were three fledglings.

They leaned out more each time food arrived and I saw some tentative moves toward leaving.

I left them alone and I think they left in shortly afterward. Last evening, I could hear the adults and some begging sounds but the fledglings were buried in the thick foliage. This morning, I saw this proud parent on the woodpile.
