Carolina Wrens Nest

Carolina Wrens are medium small size bird, beautiful and outgoing birds. I love to hearing the male sing a song all day long, they usually found in pairs and stay on its home territory all years long.
They love hanging around at our back yard and I want to make sure they stay happy, I design a small 'birds friendly' garden area, with couple bird feeders and couple bird bath, ooh... even cardinal and tufted titmouse love to hanging around that area also !

Further more, last spring I bought a small birdhouse and painted with bright color, it's look pretty but so wrong... later I learn that birds don't like a bright color for their home, they prefer a natural color. But I'll not re painting them, instead buying the new one later.

The other bird house
2 weeks later, I found a Carolina Wren nest with their 5 little tiny eggs, but not at the birdhouse but at our mulch bags... They are a low vegetation and built their nest at low branches and at this time at our mulch bag at the 4th bag ( we stacked 6 mulch bags, left over from last year) just right in front the garage window, so I can watching them without scaring the chicks, perfect!

Here are some pictures from last spring, they are so cute, isn't it ?

I'm so happy, all of them still love hanging around in my back and front yard.
