Although the Carolina Wren isn’t as beautifully colored as the Painted Buntings or the Indigo Buntings, they are still a pretty little bird. It has a very loud voice. We don’t need alarm clocks. This is our early morning wake-up call.
You can hear them most any time of day, even with the windows closed. They are not only fun to watch as they flit on and under the deck, or along the fence, but they eat lots of insects and spiders. We have a large variety of bugs here!!
Jim has a pair nesting in the shop. I like all the lacy looking leaves.
He has a small hole in the window screen so they have access to the nest even when the shop is locked up.
This nest is in a little bird box on my back porch.
Here’s a look inside
No eggs yet, but it looks comfortable with all the feathers.
Your Carolina wren looks like a sweet little bird. Here in Arizona, we have cactus wrens that have a similar white eye stripe. All of those nesting materials in the box look soft and cozy.

ReplyDeleteOh, how sweet of your hubby to cut away an access to her nest!! I love the song of the wrens. They are such a sweet little thing! Very nice post!
