Are these not the cutest? Well maybe not cute but precious. There are for sure 4 baby wrens in this nest (can you see the beaks in the pictures?). I think there may be a fifth but not for sure. They are about a week old and it is amazing how much they have grown.
The mother made the nest in a hanging plant outside my husband’s shop. I frequent and watch but try not to disturb.
Here’s another and in this one there is definitely one looking at the camera. I had to shake the nest a little to get them to respond
.
It is amazing what you will find in your backyard if you go out and visit.
I am getting frequent visit of finches now. In a post from yesterday, you might have noticed a blurry finch in a picture. At this time of year, the males are in the molting stage and are just starting to show their bright yellow colors. Occasionally I will see one that is fully molted (I hope I am saying that correctly. If not, please forgive as I am a newbie or a wannabe birder).
Later today I will post a couple of pictures of my nesting hen. I have them taken but it is very early morning here so I am in need of some shut-eye.
What the heck, it’s only a couple of pictures. Here they are–Rhoda sitting on her nest. She doesn’t look like she is in a good mood, does she?


Thanks for looking. If you enjoy my entries, please let me know. I would hate to think I am wasting my time!
Until the next entry…I’ll be looking for more bird info to share and chicken antics to make you smile.
