Success! Three baby house wrens fledged the nestbox this morning. They were soooo cute. They came flying out of the box within about 10 minutes of each other. When I say “flying” I mean that loosely. With their stubby little tail feathers and short wings they are quite awkward and can only fly a short distance without crashing into something… like a wall, a fence or a tree! The watchful parents were nearby chirping and making a lot of noise.
After about a half hour they had hopped and chirped their way down a few houses and I could no longer hear them. One of the adults came back twice and checked the nestbox… and then they were gone. I miss them already.
I took some pictures of them as they left… not high quality because they would not stay still for me.
