home turf




Carolina wren

I poise this question: Is there anything harsher sounding and/or more fussy than a scolding Carolina wren? I have two—one on each side, in stereophonic sound—scolding me on MY front porch for being an intruder as I write this dispatch. 

They seem to think of it as their front porch, yet, I pay the mortgage. Of course, these may be two of the clutch that were hatched and raised in a nestbox on my front porch six feet from where I'm sitting.


You think they think of it as their front porch? Territory they want to defend.

Adorable birds! You have captured one in all its "cuteness"...I suppose the two who fuss at you do think the porch is their home! How dare you intrude! :-)
