Mom told me the other day that her bluebird house is sans bluebirds, but full of sticks, and she couldn't even see into the nest cup.
Ha! Mom must have gotten "wrenned"!
I approached the nest today, and I was only three feet away when I saw Miss Thang giving me the Stinky Eye:
House wren. A pissed off house wren.
I stopped to get a few photos, and I was going to start backing away when she bolted.
Well, I had an opportunity to check the nest so I peeked:
SEVEN eggs. Holy crap.

That's gonna be a lot of mouths to feed!
House Wrens amaze me - so many eggs from so tiny a body. How do they do it?

We don't have House Wrens here, but I understand they are not as sweet as our Carolina Wrens and are prone to destroying nests and eggs of other birds.
But you have to admire that many eggs. Unless, of course, you don't want them around.
7 eggs! It's no wonder she's pissed off. I'd steer clear of her, Susan. I don't have house wrens here.
And what lovely eggs they are! I hope they make it!
Awww, soo to have baby wrens!
