I noticed on a walk through the yard today adult House Wrens where very busy at one of the bird houses bringing in food for the young. I stopped and observed for awhile and took a few shots to share. Some of the food brought into the nest hole appeared to be such things as green caterpillars, spiders, and many moths to name a few. Although I did not see any young, they were small in size and in the house. There was also some house cleaning going on. Images were taken on June 21, 2015.

Those babies are certainly getting a well-balanced diet! Thanks for sharing.
I really like this series of photos! As interesting as any textbook on bird life. Well done.
You made my day with this! It’s always interesting to see the variety of bugs they bring back.
Wonderful series of photos Jim.
