This little wren loves living here, and has built nests every year in a box full of tools, or in between two flower pots next to a door, in between my broom and walking sticks, you name it.

It bounces and hops around the patio bobbing it’s body up and down making a “chip chip chip” call, exploring the furniture, and whatever else is sitting around outside. It’s pretty loud for a small bird (which is probably why I often notice when it’s around calling for attention) but the bobbing up and down cuteness factor really can’t be beat.

Crows harass hawks, but they specifically will harass Great Horned Owls - for hours on end, as this owl is a crow's most dangerous predator.

Eastern Phoebe

The Phoebe is the first bird to welcome very early spring where I live. Although they overwinter here, they are pretty quiet, but as soon as the weather warms just a tad, you will hear "FEEbee...FEEbee" all morning long.
