Hello Birders, My little house wren is defiinitely nesting in the gourd under my carport here in the Charlotte Park section of West Nashville. Every time I walk out my basement door to the carport, it flies out of aforesaid gourd. When I drive the car back in on my return from errands, it flies out again. It returns as I watch quietly from behind the curtain on the basement door. Morning, noon and night, the male sings incessantly. What a joy they are! All mockingbird babies are gone. Parents are feeding hungrily on peanut butter and jelly as if it is going out of style! Guess they are getting ready for the next brood! Cardinals, house finches, chickadees, titmice, house sparrows & mourning doves are bringing babies to "Dee's Smorgabird" in massive numbers. It's keeping me busy!! These babies are constantly hungry. God love them all, Dee Thompson Nashville, TN ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com. =================NOTES TO SUBSCRIBER===================== The TN-Bird Net requires you to SIGN YOUR MESSAGE with first and last name, CITY (TOWN) and state abbreviation.
