Baby Wrens Inside The Wren’s Nest!
Written on July 9, 2008 at 5:24 pm, by Amelia
As documented last week and 120 years ago, wrens have made a nest in our mailbox. Well folks, their eggs somehow magically turned into babies.
There are about three very hungry baby birds in there, being small and opening their mouths.
Between my mysterious baby-bird-proximity-induced whispers and Lain’s overwhelming fear that the mama bird would disown the babies if we looked at them too long, we only got one quick snapshot.

So what did you name the birds?
We’re going to name mama bird and her family:
Ma Wrenny and the Rabbit Foot Minstrels, after Ma Rainey and her band of the same name. You can hear ‘em chirping when you’re on the porch.
Since there are three baby birds, we’ll name ‘em Essie, Toni Macaroni, and Alice Walker Harris.
And Emily, if we see the daddy bird, we’ll name him Henry W. Grady.
Look at those wee wrens!
Chirp, chirp!
Will they still be so meek and tiny come August 8th?
