A Spider Snack

“The house wrens used the hanging decoration on my front porch for a home. Enjoying having a close-up experience with mother nature, I watched them feed the babies. Mom has two spiders in her beak, one for each baby,” Sandy Martin says.

The Importance of Family

“A baby Carolina wren would not survive without Mom and Dad bringing food constantly. I watched this Mom and Dad build their nest in this new house I installed at the end of winter. This experience was amazing to watch, and I was especially happy to capture the scene with a photograph,” Benjamin Cash says.

House Wren Feeding Time

“This is a picture of house wrens that used the house on our front porch this summer. I waited patiently to get these pictures, and the wrens didn’t seem to mind. The babies have all left now, but I will be waiting for more opportunities next summer!” Jill Shelden says.

Baby Wren in Birdhouse

“Not long after I mounted a sturdy cedar birdhouse on a railing, a pair of house wrens showed up to raise a family. It was amazing to watch how much care the wrens put into feeding their hungry babies. Every morning, they brought grubs and caterpillars,” Chris Hiller says.

Three Little Wrens

“One winter, my grandfather gave me a birdhouse that he made. During the time it took to decide where I wanted to put the birdhouse, I put it off to the side in our gazebo and a wren decided to make a home there. Needless to say, we couldn’t move the birdhouse then,” Kendall Johnson says.

Feed Me!

“Each summer we put out several birdhouses and feeders. This summer we were thrilled when a pair of wrens decided on this house. We spent lots of time watching the parents feeding and taking care of their young. The parents were kept very busy supplying food as the young got older. Just a day or two after this picture was taken the young left the nest,” says Heather Loewen.
