Oh how neat!The porch Wrens have been feeding babies for the last five days :bliss: . Hopefully, I'll be able to watch them take their first flight. Last year, watched all but one take first flight. The last one was scared. His/her brothers and sisters were trying to convince him to come out, he would get on the edge of the hole than go back inside...it was so cute. They must have convinced him early in the morning (before I was up) to take flight. So glad Wrens are 'clean' birds...no poo on the deck (nothing to clean) and they carry out the little ones poo from their nest

Yesterday, caught the first glimpse of a baby Wren. They were really hot in their house.
They have cooled off today, though. It rained early this morning and is nice n cool at 66° this morning

Well, I missed the baby Wrens first flight. But, it was a bitter sweet first flight. I was inside and looking through the open window. I saw one of the babies underneath a chair, it was dead 
. One of the other babies hopped over and tried to get the little one to move. Than, mamma came flying in and tried feeding it and tried to get it to move, also. She started to made her distress call and moving around on my chair. She came up and landed on the top of the back of the chair and just looked at me, like help me . I told her there was nothing I could do and I was so sorry . Yeah, I know, she couldn't understand a word I was saying; I just felt so sad for her. I think, the baby just fell out of the house and banged it's head on the porch.
The sweet part is, the other two were doing fine, and mamma had to move on to take care of them.
Debating whether to keep the bird house up or take it down and keep it down. But, if I keep it down, I know I'll miss watching and listening to the Wrens. I help them with building their nests. When they can't get the twigs through the wires/cage, I'll pick them up, set them in the hole, and when she gets back she'll take them in. It's so cute to see the twigs disappear. So, I don't know what I'm gonna do

Why are you thinking about taking down the house?
It was really hard when she was looking at me and couldn't help her little oneAw that’s sad 2WW
Why are you thinking about taking down the house?
One yr something got to the nest, another yr a snake raided it...killed that one, than last yr two snakes tried. I didn't tell anyone about this...
One snake got in the home, I got hurt cause the damn snake slithered over my foot while coming in. I did something weird and hurt my ankle pretty bad, think I almost broke it. Anyhoo, had to kill it in my living room.
The second snake... The Wrens were still doing their distress call, so I stayed awake and kept watching out the front door. The snake made its move. Chopped a few hanging flowers in the process of going after and killing the snake. Didn't want to kill any one of 'em 'cause they were non poisonous snakes, but didn't have no way of transporting them to some where else.
That's the reasoning behind my thinking of giving up. But, the little Wrens need places to nest, so I'll be thinking about it through the winter. More than likely, I'll keep the house up...come what may (hopefully not snakes)
