Hi, Betsy:
I suspect wrens would go after HOSP eggs as well as any
other bird nesting in their territories, but that is hypothetical.
I have no actual experience with them doing so as HOSP's
usually try nesting in boxes that are not around HOWR
habitat. BTW, congratulations on your wren-less EABL
trail. Oh that we had it so good.
