Wren 6
Posted by Betty (Phillipsburg, United States) on 2 July 2008 in Animal & Insect.
One wren just emerged from the pole, with another waiting on the clothesline!

They are such good parents. A wonderful image, Betty!

@Michael Skorulski: Thank you, Michael. When I took the images of the wren with the green worm, that bird was waiting to enter the pole because one of them was in the pole. It waited about ten minutes... that's why it was sitting half out of the pole with the worm. It kept looking down and hopping from the clothesline to the pole. That was great to watch!
Stephen Phillips from San Francisco, United States

Chris from South Jersey, United States
Nice to see papa-wren helping out with the feeding duties!! Great shot....
2 Jul 2008 1:50pm
@Chris: It was very interesting to watch, because one would be in the pole and one would have to wait... and they are not very patient! It would hop in and out of the pole, look down, hop about! Great fun to watch!
