Baby birds!

Category: Vegetable and Flower Gardens | Posted: Tue Jun 09, 2009 1:59 am

They finally hatched! The mother wren has been flying in and out every so often over the last 3 weeks and finally there are the quietest peeps coming from the house (I pressed my ear to the back of it to hear them). So far it sounds like 2 babies. It's really cold out tonight so I guess mom is in there covering them up. The real action in the yard will start now with her picking all the inchworms and caterpillars, moths etc from my gardens to feed the fast growing babies. It only took about 2 1/2 weeks, maybe 3 max, for them to fledge and then leave the nest. I'll get photos when I can. They are such amazing little creatures.

I hope you manage to snap a photogrph of them Jill when they fledge. They are so quick that I've never managed to do it.
