In May Dan moved the wren house to the oak tree in the middle of the back yard. We did have baby wrens last year, but I couldn't stand having the wren house so close to the bird garden and the house. The mama and papa wrens are so protective they chase away any other birds and just about dive bomb anyone coming near the bird house.
So we seriously wondered whether that would be an acceptable location, but we did hear at least one wren singing constantly for all of June. Now as I sit in the family room (with the window open) I can hear the baby wrens chirping up a storm, waiting for mama and papa to return with food. I do wish we could watch as they leave the nest and learn to fly, but the tree is a very good hiding place!
