I struck up a friendship with a Winter Wren that has been patrolling the area while snagging bugs and collecting moss.
Each day I watched it hop past me on its way to a secluded spot under a culvert.
During one of its moss hopping treks, I decided to see if I could find the nest. I took a quick photo and when I came back to look, I noticed a yellow gape flange. Yes, it seems there’s a baby Winter Wren in the 1st photo!
I hear it is #Wrensday, so here are some house wrens from last Friday! They were singing up a storm all along the margins of the controlled burn area and lazy braided creek we were visiting in #CentralOR.
