Generations of wrens have begun their lives in & around our home. Each year, we watch as a momma nests & feeds her young seemingly without care or concern over our presence. Several times, we have been fortunate to be there for the first flying lessons. She teaches them to fear people, though is rather cavalier about us herself. I have learned what different songs & sounds mean as she instructs them for their independent lives. Wrens are a genuine parable for me. They are nearly the tiniest bird, yet have the largest & I think, most glorious of voice in creation. Wrens always remind me to stop what I am doing & PRAISE!
Our snow-day movie festival was interrupted by her forest song carrying all the way into our home. I grabbed my camera & joined her at the kitchen window. The images are shot funny as I had to maneuver around the window muntons, but feel soooo blessed to have captured these close shots! That's my little Praise-Warrior !!
Fabulous!
