Hi folks:
Had a pair of Carolina wrens successfully raise 5 chicks in my hanging begonia pot on my porch. They fledged a couple of weeks ago and all has been quiet. I went onto the porch early this evening and was roundly chided for walking out my door! I first heard fluttering, looked over and saw the flowerpot was swinging. And a very angry Carolina Wren then flew into the bush next to the porch and scolded me back into the house.
I know they will brood more than once per season, but I didn't think they re-used the same nest; do they? And so soon? I was going to take it down so I could properly tend my begonia, but if they are working on it again I'll let it be.
