Your Sunday Best #15: The wrens are back.


Well, one wren is back.

He's singing his precious little heart out, calling for Mrs. Wren, 
who apparently had an unexpected layover in Albuquerque.


Is that her? 

Nope. Just another pesky female sparrow.

Go away tramp! I'm a married man!


I wonder if she could be tidying up our secret nesting area?



Yoo whoo! Anybody in there?

Stella!

  6. What cute shots! I hope the Mrs shows up soon...poor little guy. Had to giggle at the "Stella" part--that's the name I give baristas at the coffee house just because it makes me smile when they have to call it out ;)

  35. I love the image of the singing wren! My sister, who lives several blocks away on a much larger lot, used to have wrens that nested in one of their birdhouses. Such delightful little things.

  36. Stunning shots Nancy. There's a wren passes by but he's too fast for me to capture...thinks he's a roadrunner, lol!

  41. The little wren really does look like he is singing his heart out. I love to hear them sing.

    ReplyDelete
  42. Oh, I so wish the wrens would visit me!

  43. The first two shots are amazing! The last two looks complex with all the wires visible; yet it was nice of you to capture the wren. Were you using an SLR?

    Your site is beautiful and with all the photos here, you seem like a pro photographer. I am not a new blogger but decided to only connect now and learn a few things from others. Also, it's more fun to have many friends. May we exchange link? Take care, Farida :)
