Baby Carolina Wrens


Sorry this post is late but both our staff members have been busy lately. Here are two photos of the baby Wrens. They are taken about a week apart so you can see the difference between their featherless state, ( just hatched) and their newer state. They are expected to fledge soon so we will post more photos then. Yes this is in a shoe! For some reason the Wrens thought an old boot would be a good place to nest.

  1. Last summer some wrens made a nest in a pair of shoes that we had outside... I wonder what it is about shoes? I enjoyed watching them, and was sad when they were gone. Maybe they'll nest in our carport again. :)

  2. Wrens love to nest in carports. Because they are safe and usualy have a good place to nest in. The Wrens at our house have been nesting in our carport for over six years. They come back every time.
