Everything is 3-4 weeks earlier this year due to our June in March temps.Bumblebees have come out. I'm seeing butterflies.My balloon flowers are 8 inches tall.All this,even though April has turned chilly.Normal,really.Wrens have always arrived here during the first week of May.I have been watching & listening,really. Sure enough,Sun. a wren was in my garden shed. Doris,Iowa
I hope the wren was looking around to see if there was a good nesting site available. Just let's hope the weather is kind to it now that it has arrived.
Eileen,She sure was looking for a place to build.The shed would probably work if I crack a window. We have plenty of good wren houses available. And barring a snowstorm, the weather will likely be about like May. It can be wet & chilly here in May. It is the barn swallows that love sheds & our garage. Hubby had to rig a shield to protect our car from bird poo. All these birds are busy little bug getters. LOL sewNsow
I am hoping my little wrens will be here soon...I have been listening for them but I only hear the house finches and the robins..
Ours are early this year too. We already have babies... You can't see them all in the pic but I know there are 5 baby wrens in this nest under my carport in a cardboard box. They are around 8-10 days old now.
