Wren – Eskildoodle Photos and Feelings

Downwind

The rain had momentarily paused providing a break for the birds to get on with their day. A wren perched on the fence with its tail to the wind and its downy feathers ruffled by the breeze. In spite of it all it seemed happy and started singing, making the rest of us happy asContinue reading “Downwind”

Nestled

I had thought that some silly bird had taken the time to shape a bunch of Spanish moss into a nest in the azalea bush right outside our window and then abandoned it. We had watched it for several days with high hopes but the nest remained empty. That is until last night! A femaleContinue reading “Nestled”

Mighty Mouth

It was singing outside the guest bedroom window, it’s little body booming out a very large sound. Since the window was shut, we didn’t quite need hearing protection. We don’t mind at all, and actually look forward to their songs, though my wife suggested that it’s name should be “Cy” as in Cy Wren. Yes,Continue reading “Mighty Mouth”

However, upon the hawks departure, a tufted titmouse promptly plopped onto the adjacent feeder and wrens startedContinue reading “Big Bird Bath”

Little, but Loud

Small, but powerful, this Carolina wren was poised for its morning serenade. Its chest puffed out then forcefully contracted to power its delightedly loud song. The performance repeated over and over with minor variations. Even with the windows closed it could be plainly heard indoors, and I almost imagined that the white squirrel sculpture wishedContinue reading “Little, but Loud”

Room for Wren(t)

The Fed-X delivery man brought joy to bird and people as well on New Years Eve day. The nine-foot tall shepherd’s rod was just right to mount our wren house on. We will be watching closely for new tenants and hope they produce offspring for us to enjoy. At any rate, it is a funContinue reading “Room for Wren(t)”
