Ready for Wrens

This is the first house I put up trying to attract the friendly little Wrens to our yard and will probably not be the last.  I hear them every Spring chattering in the big cedar next door and I say to myself. “Maybe this year.”  They are fussy little birds; setting up housekeeping in several spots until they are finally satisfied with one.   Hiding their nests in dense shrubbery or woodpiles is a favorite trick and I’ve provided that same cover but still no luck.  Once they settle in and get familiar with your routine they become quite tame, flitting around the year, always busy doing something.  Our recent snow piled on top of their future home looked kind of quirky and fun.  Maybe they will like it this year..
