Spring in bloom on our countertop!
"Satisfy us each morning with your unfailing love,
so we may sing for joy to the end of our lives.
Give us gladness in proportion to our former misery!
Replace the evil years with good."
Psalm 90:14-15

Day 1260:  A Photo A Day • The Wren Story

7/4/2018

0 Comments

 
After we took the winter cover off our air conditioner unit in May we noticed some wrens building a nest there.
Picture
Soon Evan noticed a mama wren sitting on her eggs.
A few weeks after that... the baby wrens arrived!
We heard them peeping loudly, stronger every day, for a few weeks...
And then a few days ago.... they flew the coop!
​Below are some images of a brave one making his way out of the nest.
Picture
Fortunately, they were able to 'explore' on the grill.
Picture
Picture
Then they hopped down into the bushes below the a/c unit.
Later, they made their way over to the nearby tree... 
Shortly after this we heard them peeping over in the neighbor's yard.
It was soooo quiet after they left. We pray they survived and are doing well now!
Thank you for taking care of the wrens, Lord!  :-)
Picture
 I didn't get any good close-ups of the babies, but here's a collage wren from Wren's Summer Song (2010).
