Shelburne Falls, MA(Zone 5a)

Two days ago I came out of my home to a very noisy clump of babies in the driveway.

They seemed to like the daylilies.

One let me pick him up before he flew to the lilac bush.

Unfortunately I later found one dead-must have been the one who appeared weak and hid under the orchid shelves. (Nature red in tooth and claw.)

All the rest flew away. I hope to see them grown and back next year!

Wonderful pictures boojum! What an incredible opportunity to experience those birds up close and personal. Very typical house wrens - chattering all the while it looks like. Thanks for sharing.

Hi boojum: They are so fragile, aren't they? I just released a pair of house wren fledglings that I raised (I am a licensed wl rehabber) about 2-3 weeks ago. They were so sweet to raise.

Do you think I could have saved the one that died? It was cheeping weakly when I found it and died soon after.
