Earlier this year, I made several nesting boxes and located them around the house. Black-Capped Chickadees nested in one of the boxes. Last week, the little ones fledged and the Chickadees moved out. Meanwhile, a pair of House Wrens occupied another box, where they are currently feeding baby wrens in the box. Today, I made some images of the wrens attending to their young.

The wrens made several trips feeding insects to their young in the box. Here is another image of the wren hanging from the outside of the box.

I managed to capture this wren, with insect, while it was perched in a nearby maple tree.

I managed to capture some images with the wrens peering out of the nesting box.

The parent wrens have to clear away trash and poop from the box. Here we see one of the parents with a piece of poop being removed. The other parent is behind the poop remover.
