FOB Ann Kennedy Writes with Wren Update

Hi Kim.  Here’s the update on the baby wrens.  Today at noon, 2 of them fluttered about 3 feet from their house to our deck rail.  Within a few minutes they made it up into the redbud tree where they stayed for quite awhile.  For the entire time they were out, the mama flew in and out of the house, removing small twigs, downy grey feathers, and other bits of stuff from the nest.   At this point, they are flying easily from the tree to the deck and back into their house.  In a day or two, they’ll be gone.  Our neighbors call them the “lighthouse wrens” as their house is a small wooden lighthouse.

Best wishes,

Ann

FOB Ann Kennedy Shares Her Wren Photos and Story

Hi Kim,

I’m excited about your film showing very soon and I hope your opening is wonderful in every way.  I just know it will be and I look forward to hearing all about it on GMG!  You bring such gifts through your photos and informative posts!

I’ve been watching the wrens outside my kitchen window, and while the pictures aren’t that great, what these precious birds do is just amazing as you well know.  The babies squawk until the mama returns with a winged treat.  As they get bigger, she will drop the bug on the ground and encourage them to come for it on their own for at least one of their feedings.  It is so fun to watch and thought you might enjoy these.  While I can’t clean up their messy birdhouse, I did clean up the last photo:-)

Best wishes always,

Ann
