In the Birdhouse #4

I've been hearing a Wren singing when I go out on the deck and today, I got lucky. A cute tiny House Wren let me snap some pics.







The pics didn't come easy, I had to work to get the pics in this post. While I was outside working in my flower bed and pots, . . .




I could hear the House Wren singing.


A couple birdhouses are hanging on a trellis near my back steps. The other day, I caught a glimpse of a bird going in one of the houses.







Parked in our Polaris Ranger for about 40 minutes and trying not to move an inch, I caught a movement of the House Wren sitting on a branch near the bird houses.




The wren wouldn't go in the house at first. She took off, then in a while, I could hear her singing again.




It took another 15 minutes or so and which one of the houses do you think the wren landed on? Look closely!




Do you see the wren, look on the right side? 




Checking around to make sure it was safe; the wren hops over to the house on the left.




Still checking before entering the birdhouse. Several glances around then in the wren goes.




The wren didn't stay in the house long. Suddenly the wren's stuck its head out of the house.




Out, then up on top of the house and a couple of hops around on the roof.




Then in the blink of an eye, the House Wren was gone.




I hope to get more pics of the House Wren in the days to come. I'll keep you posted. - Judy.

At the Feeders and in the Trees - Week 11

They Are Back! 


I am so thankful that the Rose-breasted Grosbeak have returned to my feeders. 


The male and the female . . .



They have been eating safflower seeds like crazy. I am filling the feeder daily. They visit my area in summer and during migration. We have four males and four females at the feeders.




A sweet House Wren has been building a nest in the wren house hanging in the birch trees by our deck. He sings all day long! You can see the twig in his mouth then peeking out of his house.


This small Downy Woodpecker is a daily visitor. I had to laugh as he visited every feeder plus tried to peck our metal bird stand.



Then I noticed the reason he was at the seed feeders instead of the upside down suet feeder he usually visits.


The Brown Thrasher has returned for the summer. 



He is about 11" in size and is a rusty red bird with a long tail and heavily streaked chest and belly. Check out his bright yellow eyes. 



Sorry not a great pic of him in flight but still sharing it. I only had my iPhone with me when I saw him in my neighbor's yard. 




Thanks for stopping by for another week of At the Feeders and in the Trees - Judy.
