What a thrill it was to watch what I think is a house wren make a home in one of my birdhouse gourds a couple of weeks ago. This gourd is right outside our kitchen, adjacent to the kitchen patio, so I enjoy it’s bubbly song and energetic bouncing back and forth each morning while I have my coffee.

This little fellow never seems to sit still for long but stays quite close to the nest most of the time. It’s wonderful to listen to it’s joyful bubbly call and the answer from other wrens in our back bush.
