Wrens

Last week I came across several singing Winter Wrens on a nearby preserve and grabbed this shot of one, in spite of the dog tugging at the leash.

Yesterday, several House Wrens showed up in our back yard and seemed to be interested in our one bird house.

Here are some more shots — it’s wonderful to hear their singing and chattering.

We’ve had a nice variety of new visitors in our back yard this week including a Ruby-throated Hummer, Rose-breasted Grosbeak, Gray Catbird, Black & White Warbler, and a Spotted Sandpiper. Still waiting for the Great Blue Heron.
