Birdhouse
Home Tweet Home
This birdhouse has seen a lot of fledglings in its day. It’s also seen better days. Still, the abundance of days past and weathering have added to its character and charm.
This birdhouse hangs from a tree limb at my in-laws northwest Missouri homestead. Nothing spectacular about this image, but I find it soothing to look at. I love the weathered woodgrain, the grasses and twigs and the strand of wire keeping it together.
You can get a better look at the detail in the woodgrain if you click on the photo.

House Sitting House Wren
I happened to catch this house wren sitting in the doorway of its home, but it wasn’t there long. I was constantly swooping in and out to bring insects to the babies inside.
In an earlier post, I showed this same wren with a beak full of spider to feed the babes. See it HERE.
This bird was photographed on a recent trip to northwest Missouri. We’ve not been able to attract an wrens to nest in a similar house we have in our yard in northeast Wisconsin.

The Early Bird
Not many are up early enough to catch the sunrise. How many beautiful scenes have been sacrificed on the altar of another hour’s sleep.
This sunrise was enjoyed by a bluebird in our back yard…and me.
