Back again

This little wren is building a nest in a bird house on the deck. I don't know if it's the same bird that nested here last year, but I like to think so. I think she enjoyed her stay so much last Spring, that she checked in again this year. What's not to love, free food, water and lodging! She has a beautiful song and sings all day long. I hope she tells all her other little wren friends.

Backyard guests

For several years we have had a family of house sparrows nest in the barn bird house in the backyard. This year there are at least 2 babies. Mom and dad spend most of their day flying back and forth with food for the ever open mouths of the hungry young ones.

There's a lot of chirping going on while they wait for the next worm.
