Earlier this year, I made several nesting boxes and located them around the house. Black-Capped Chickadees\u00a0 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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n
