The family of Carolina Wrens that I’ve been telling you about is still showing up every day.

The toddlers are venturing out more on their own…

…but they still are quite demanding when they want to be fed!

And Mama continues to perch herself on overhead branches and sing loudly.
I have gotten to be fairly fluent in Wren, so my best interpretation of her song lyrics are –

I’m busy, busy, busy ’til the setting of the sun
Oh, a Mama’s hard work is never ever done
I’m clearly outnumbered so they’re bound to misbehave
While I gather up the grub that these hungry toddlers crave
Still I’ll sit and I’ll sing while they squawk and they pester
Cause I know very soon I will be an empty nester!

This will likely be the last post for this batch of babies because the migrators are starting to pass through and I can hardly wait to share them with you!
