As incredible as this might seem for the date here, it would appear that a brood of Carolina Wrens have already fledged...There is what I take to be a family group of 7 birds moving about the place. I checked both gourds where I knew there nests and both were empty. One had eggs a few weeks ago when I checked with the ladder but was not sure how many..... It is only March 10 for crying aloud. ********************************************************************** Brush Freeman 503-551-5150 Cell 120 N. Red Bud Trail.
