Hey! What's all that racket going on out there? Will you please hold it down? I have a whole nest full of sleeping babies.
What's that? US? All that racket is US? Oh. Nevermind.
We usually have both Carolina Wrens and House Wrens nesting here in the spring. Although I've seen a Carolina Wren this year, none nested under our screened porch as they often do. I've also not heard their tea-kettle tea-kettle tea-kettle calls. But I've seen and heard a lot from our House Wrens. They are noisy, scoldy birds, and it always amazes me so much sound can come out of such a tiny body. Ours aren't the least bit afraid of us, either. I can be working in the garden, and they will be just a few feet away gathering nesting material or perching and giving me what for. They may be noisy, but they are so cute and I love them.
the squirrels are the noisy ones in my yard. They always seem to be scolding somebody about SOME-thing. thanks for your kinds comments on my blog!

I've had your blog up all day, while I was attending to our grandson, and then this evening, working outside. I enjoyed your about you page. I am a collector too.
I have house wrens this year, too. The one house I already posted about, and today, I noticed a wren around another house. I read where they sometimes set up false houses to fool predators, so maybe it's the same family. I always enjoyed their company when I was gardening at the first house my husband and I purchased.
Our squirrels are noisy, too.
