A House Wren Furnishing His Apartment

I was lucky enough to find a House Wren pair and their nest the other day. They are a little skittish with me being only 15 feet away, but they tolerated me.

Nice Capture Mitch of a rather elusive bird but a pretty song

I was lucky enough to find their nesting hole and was able to set up pretty close. I've got a popup hide coming Monday, so with any luck, I will be able to document their progress and maybe get some baby pics in a couple weeks. I don't want to stress them out by going there again til I can hide from them though.

Good idea, it is a lot easier to get a continuing series from a hide and take it slow. Give up a shot to get hundreds.

Good pictorial document, Mitch, of that elusive birdie.
Looking forward to some more.

Lovely little bird and some great shots there.

Thanks guys. I have been hunting this bird since last summer, so to me, I've struck gold. I'll certainly be getting some more shots since I favor the little guys.

All are good. Number 2 is great! --Rick

Great series of this super skittis bird. Very well done indeed.

Thanks guys. I'm still excited about the opportunity to shoot more of this bird. Wrens are my holy grail.

Wonderful shots of a cute little bird, love pics#2 and #3, so sweet!

I think you are going to have fun with that hide. These very tiny birds are very photogenic. Lucky you to know where they live

Awesome job, showing this awesome house decorator! I have some similar shots I just took at work where a House Wren is making a nest in a crack in a magnolia tree. Such a lovely active little bird with a pretty song.

Thanks Downy. They are sweet little birds that I have a soft spot for.

Thanks Gary. It'll be here Monday. I hope it's waterproof, cause we got a week of rain coming. They were bringing in stuff for the nest, so I guess there should be at least a couple weeks of leeway before they hatch eggs.

Thanks Bob. They are a nice little bird and they also love to sing. They always announce when they come back home.

A little beauty Mitch I would love to see more.....
