Hi Adam, thank you for the kind words. I took the footage of the wrens, narrated, and edited the video. I agree it would have been nice to have the fledglings in it. Unfortunately I think they took off very quickly and I never even saw the little ones leave the nest. I am glad this got you more interested in birds. Check our future program schedules for Birding programs. Great video! I put up my first birdhouse this year and finally have a house wren who has built a nest over the last week and a half.
Fingers crossed she will choose this nest to lay eggs! The Wren is easily recognised by its small, round, plump shape and its distinctive small tail which is almost continuously cocked up.
Its brown colouration is paler on the under parts. It has dense dark bars on its wings, flanks and tail. The young are like the adults but have fewer bars. The Wren is lively and is constantly on the move. It hunts for insects among leaves on the ground, in cracks in bark of trees. It sometimes flies for a short distance in pursuit of its prey. Its flight is direct and it launches itself with powerful wing-beats. They live alone or in pairs during the nesting season.
Courtship involves male singing, showing the female potential nest sites. Adults often puncture the eggs of other birds nesting nearby including other House Wrens. Male may have more than one mate; female may leave male to care for young from first brood while she moves to another male's territory and nests again.
Nest site is in any kind of cavity, including natural hollows in trees and stumps, old woodpecker holes, crevices in buildings, often in nest boxes. May nest in almost any kind of enclosed space flowerpots, parked cars, shoes, drainpipes, etc. Site is usually low, may be high in trees, especially in western mountains. Male builds incomplete "dummy" nests in several cavities; female chooses one and finishes nest by adding lining. Nest has a foundation of twigs, topped with softer cup of plant fibers, grass, weeds, animal hair, feathers.

Choose a temperature scenario below to see which threats will affect this species as warming increases. The same climate change-driven threats that put birds at risk will affect other wildlife and people, too. A teen birder shares her adventures from the field.

Latin: Thryomanes bewickii. Latin: Certhia americana. Latin: Polioptila californica. Latin: Catherpes mexicanus. We have them nest every year in different areas around our home. They seem to prefer anything besides the nest box we hung up. The nests have been in flower pots, in a empty fish tank and once in a bicycle helmet.
Twice they made nests in the canvas awning next to our back door and the mommy wren flew into our house on accident when it was spooked by my husband going out the door. Can I move nest? A nest in my orchid tray. No eggs. In four weeks take tray with me on vacation. Have some Wren babies in my potted pineapple sage plant. Mom goes back and forth between my big tree on the front yard to the nest in my plant on my front porch. Once the babies have left the nest, should I leave the nest or clean it out?
