Alice, sounds fun, and I agree with your mom…I’ll lose the plant and watch the birds every time! Carolina wrens are very fun and one of my favorite birds. They are loud though!

P.S. Sorry for the delay in posting your comment and a reply. We just got back from vacation. :-)

Bought a beautiful 12 potted geranium and other flowers. Set it out on back porch. Few days later noticed hanging leaves were dying. Upon closer observation noticed in back dirt on floor. Yep, bird was building nest. One day had one egg and now have 4. Carolina Wren. Her nest goes like a tunnel not down but backwards. Told my 95 year old mother about the nest and she said don’t destroy the nest. Heck with the flowers. So getting to watch them up close and personal. Jordan, Ar.

We have a bird box nest on our upper deck. The c.wrens have been feeding (we think 3) for the past 10 days. This morning (6/12/09) we saw one leave and it came down onto our patio table, about 12″ away from us then left. This is the third year that the mother & father have been using our “box nest”. I will wait a few days then clean it out and the process will begin again (usually two time a year). We live in Dallas, PA.

Hi Again –

The fledglings left the nest today. I wasn’t around when it happened, but we can confirm two are hanging around the backyard.

Hi Dave – I’m new to bird watching/nests. We have six Carolina Wren fledglings nested high in our garage (6-7 days old) . Mom and Dad are busy feeding all day – I’m exhausted just watching them! Can you advise on whether I should move the nest to lower ground? The nest is approx.9 feet above ground and once the fledglings attempt to fly they will hit cement.

Hi Dave, I enjoyed catching up on your posts… I know you are disappointed that the bluebirds are gone… But they’ll be back one or two more times!!!!!! Great video…

I think mine will be born about Thursday—so I’ll check the nest then… I’m so excited.

You all need to go to Ocean Isle sometime. It’s a beautiful place.

Loved seeing the Carolina Wren babies also. My friend Clara had Carolina Wrens nesting in her hanging basket.

Hope you have had a wonderful day… That baby is growing fast…Great pictures!!!

Hugs to all four of you,
Betsy
