What a devoted Mom and Dad those fledglings have.
Last month, the parent wrens chased away a hungry blue jay (who was able to pluck some feathers from one of the babies but didn't do enough damage to kill it, fortunately), and now I see them in the yard teaching the babies how to fly and forage for food.
With their nest in direct view of one of our windows, we saw the most diverse and amazing selection of insects that they found for their babies. From fat caterpillars to squirmy centipedes and other creepy crawlies, these baby wrens were well fed and well taken care of!
In honor of Father's Day, here are some photos of one of the fledglings being fed his dinner by Dad.
Thanks to all the doting and wonderful Dads out there. Your kids and your families appreciate all you do!!!!
