A pair of Carolina Wrens have built a nest in our patio rafters. The eggs have now hatched and the parents are very busy hunting for food for the noisy, hungry brood. Their favorite source of food is seeds from the feeders which sit several feet away from the nest. They also are often seen scratching through leaves on the ground or in a nearby woodpile in search of insects and spiders.

How nice to have a nest so close by. I love hearing their ‘teakettle’ song!
They can be quite noisy birds when they really get going. You can always tell when there is one around.
Sweet looking Werns. Excellent photos.
Thanks! They are very energetic and fun to watch.
How fortunate you have a front-row seat to watch the family and take photos in what they have perceived as a safe haven to raise their brood.
They are interesting to watch and very noisy!
