We do not get many house wrens at the nature center; we’re in Carolina wren country.

Recently I received an email from Sue Wagoner in Illinois, deep in the heart of house wren nesting country.

Sue wrote, “The house wrens have plenty of personality and, of course, SPUNK. They are really vocal all summer and busy, busy, busy, all day long.

“I had a house wren fledgling in my backyard in early September. He ‘dropped’ in front of me as I was walking, so I watched him go from the shock of seeing me, to taking cover in the garden plants, then fly short distances and finally reach the top of this stump.”

She was then able to get the above photo.

Thanks, Sue
