Update on the Wren

I can't believe how fast these little naked "things" turned into real birds. I'm not sure if all four eggs hatched. It's hard to see inside a tunnel nest. I can make out three -- at least.
When I went outside to take a picture, the parents were about to do a feeding. I interrupted it accidently. One of them flew from garbage can to railing just fussin' up a storm. I backed up against the wall to get out of the way. It must have been good enough because the other one (which is mom and which is dad?) came in with a grasshopper in it's beak and lunch was served.





I did get a shot of one of the babies coming up out of the nest when he heard his parent's voice. He blends in pretty well and it's hard to see him on the first shot, but then I used a flash and more zoom and the second shot is clearer. Cool, huh?
