Recently we had a family of Carolina Wrens make a nest in our fire bell on the front of the Nature Center. The little ones have fledged and gone on their way, but we hope to have another family soon. It only takes 14 days for the little ones to fledge, so if you find a wren nest at your house, watch closely! Here are some pix of the nest and daddy bird.
Different species of wrens exist in north and south America. The only species that exists in Europe is the Winter Wren. It is thought that this wren crossed the land bridge that used to exist in the Bering Strait.
Wrens have always been thought of as clever birds due to their darting abilities. The name probably originates from an old Saxon word, wroene.
