Thanks, Bird! As you note, no matter what the species, it is remarkable to watch wings unfold, prey being pursued, or babies fed. We’re so happy that you enjoyed this post!

Gorgeous photos and so beautifully observed – for me bird watching is about the behaviour and not the rarity of the species, so this post gets my thumbs up. Lovely!!!

Hello barefootheart!

We’re so sorry that you don’t have any nesting nearby this year — they truly are a joy. Here’s hoping the pictures bring a little ‘wren-ness’ your way!

Wonderful photos. I love the busy, babbling song of wrens. It’s great to have a pair near your home. I don’t have any wrens this year and miss them.

Thanks Peg! The demands of the baby wrens meant that the parents had to be pretty brave — we set up the tripod nearby and waited patiently. The wrens are so quick, though, that it was tough to get good poses and focus. We were hoping for a whole spread of all the different prey the parents brought back (all different shapes and colors!), but these were the best photos of the lot.

We’ll check out the link you included — we always love visiting the Pfeiffer Nature Center blog! We’re hoping we get to visit in person someday =)

I am so impressed by your great photos! Nice work!

I have phoebes feeding their babies in nests on my house now, and had robins earlier (http://pfeiffernaturecenter.org/nature-blog/2009/06/robins-raise-a-family/), but no wrens. And my pix were nowhere NEAR as nice as yours. My robins were a wary bunch.

Thanks Sally! It was great fun =)

Mobug41 — pistachio pudding! That almost makes us want to go out and find one, just to give it a try!

Your house seems similar to the one ours are nesting in — very old and weathered. Perhaps they enjoy homes that are a little more ‘lived in’?

Thank you both for the compliments on the photos, as well!

I imagine that fat juicy green one tasting like pistachio pudding. Yummy. Wrens are great mommy’s and daddy’s we have a pair nesting in a beat up old house on our clothes line and we sure enjoy watching them too. Your photos are wonderful.
