Doux moment...
Je ne sais trop pourquoi, j'aime beaucoup cette image, elle me parle, je la trouve touchante...
Après avoir chanté allègrement, il a pris cette pose une fraction de seconde avant de quitter cette perche naturelle située un peu en retrait de l'arbre qui abritait son nid qu'il s'affairait à construire. Doux moment...

Troglodytes aedon (House wren / Cucarachero)
The House Wren is a very small songbird. It occurs from Canada to southernmost South America, and is thus the most widely distributed bird in the Americas. This bird's rich bubbly song is commonly heard during the nesting season but rarely afterwards. (Wikipedia)
This is a house wren that was raising a brood on my parent's property. I shot it at a pretty high ISO so it is a little noisy. But still I liked the pose. And it was fun to watch them bring food back for the the little ones (heard but not seen inside their birdhouse)
This last year I've been trying to get better (from a really low bar) at my bird sounds. Birds elicit sounds for many different reason, such as courtship, warnings, or simple communication. Sometimes it's a long song or perhaps a shorter one, sometimes it's one of many different calls or songs that can be identified to the same bird, sometimes they're actually mimicking calls from other birds. It's actually quite remarkable. What I find amazing though is when the song or call doesn't seem to "match" what I would have imagined the bird to be. Case in point, the call of a broad-winged hawk, which doesn't sound anything like a raptor!
When I hear the song of a house wren I get that same feeling of intrigue. How could such a tiny bird give such a loud call? How could such a fiercely territorial bird sing such a beautiful, if not inviting, song? Either way, I usually give a quick turn of the head whenever I first hear one, then a smile emerges knowing that it's just my "friend".
Happy Weekend!

Northern House Wren waiting it's turn to go into the nest with a nice meal for it's young. My backyard. Central Bucks, PA.
The nest building procedure for the House Wren was fun to watch, from collection to transport and then to fit in the proper location which at times was quite challenging
This little bird actually has a nest inside the bird blind! I believe it's egg(s) may have hatched because it is constantly coming and going, bringing in insects to the nest. What a powerful song this bird has!
Found this house wren perched on top of a rock with a lovely bug in its beak. Looks quite proud of itself. :-). Happy Thursday!

¿Me escuchas ahora? Can you hear me now? The House Wren (Troglodytes aedon) has a big voice for such a small bird. There are several subspecies of the House Wren that are distributed from central Canada to all of South America. They may be found in a variety of habitats.
Wikipedia: The house wren (Troglodytes aedon) is a very small bird of the wren family, Troglodytidae. It occurs from Canada to southernmost South America, and is thus the most widely distributed native bird in the Americas. It occurs in most suburban areas in its range and it is the single most common wren. Its taxonomy is highly complex and some subspecies groups are often considered separate species. The name troglodytes means "hole dweller", and is a reference to the bird's tendency to disappear into crevices when hunting insects or to seek shelter.

This House Wren has brought back some nesting materials and is looking up where it's nest is, about to take the final leap there.
Taken 15 May 2017 at Magee Marsh, Ohio.
This shot of what I believe is a young House Wren is pretty special for a couple of reasons. First I have heard it a number of times around the yard, but could either not find it or it would not stay still long enough for a shot. More importantly, I believe it is a survivor. My cat had caught a Wren and had it under the deck. I could see the bird struggling. I managed to get my cat off of it and put her inside. (She is getting better with birds but still finds interest in them from time to time) Anyways. I was hoping for the best and sure enough a couple of hours later it was gone. This has to be the one and it appears to be doing completely fine, so I am very happy for it.
I could have cropped much closer but wanted the bird to appear small within the frame. It really is very tiny.
Nest Building in my yard in Chester County, PA
House Wrens seem to be continually busy building nests. I have read that they often build several nests before finally selecting one to raise their family. Unfortunately they will sometimes aggressively take over nesting spots from other small birds that they do not even use.
