The Featherless Five
~*Marge Tindal*~

Patiently sits Mommy Wren
gazing steadily out at me
Then she flew because she knew
there was more I wanted to see~

Sure enough … there in the nest
The Featherless Five now hatched
I snapped the lens as quickly as I could
then Mommy Wren came back~

Now I’ll wait a day or two
photographing them after they dress
In their Easter-feathered finery
they will look their very best~


~Oh friends, pardon me while I get all excited !~
I LOVE this nature moment ... just LOVE it !

*Remember ... the beginning ?

the spirit rejoices over what it has left.

OOOH MYYYYYY Marge you are so good with that camera...
and quick too as the mother wouldn't have gone far.
Thank you for gifting us with these wonderful words and pictures.
~Smiles & Hugs, Nancy~

To have lived the dream of a love so true...
   is to have seen a glimpse of heaven.

Oh the wonderful instinct of the little wren to find her safe home near you.  Aren't they precious and don't they come fast?  Love, Joyce

Thanks gals~
I found some interesting information on this particular Wren which is the Carolina Wren - here is a link to the page for those of you interested~
http://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/BODY_UW184

And interetingly enough the incubation period is a mere 12-14 days.
COOL !

I will continue watching our little ones and update you all as to their feathery progress~

I actually stand near the nest and 'talk' and 'sing' to Mother Wren ... she seems very, very calm about the whole thing~

Dear Marge:  An encounter such as you are having with the wren is so charming. Now you can watch each feather pop out on these fledglings!

Oh Marge how fortunate you are to have God share this with you. Momma wren must know that you are a safe person. Thanks for sharing. I love it.
Love you,
Betty

thank you for sharing this miracle!

my cat had kittens but she's keeping them somewhere and won't let me in on it...

she was a stray and I got her to trust me enough to let me pet her but she won't come inside....I have to find those kittens!
