Techno Chicks

Once upon a time,
In a workshop far, far away,
A little wren found an old computer

She built a little nest
And laid some little eggs
And now we see her flying around with worms in her mouth.

If you look in her doorway, you'll see just the top of her little brown head, her eyebrows and her eyes. I guess her babies have hatched because she's feeding something in there. I'll try to get pictures while she's away from the nest. She's really tiny and the eggs were the size of small jelly beans.

We think she's the same bird that nested in the shop last year. Her babies were born July 4th, so I guess she's a little early this year.

The Birds

I think this is a Carolina Wren. I saw the parent fluttering all over the woods. Then I noticed something small flopping around on the ground - the baby chick! I would guess he just left the nest today!

Baby

And Baby with a package of crackers to show how tiny he was. He looked about 3cm. Unfortunately I didn't bring anything else to measure him with.
