I had a special visitor this morning . I’m not very good at identifying the smaller breed birds but he was pretty. I opened the door and he left on his own without issue. Clueless as to how he got in ‍♀️

I know those little rascals as a "house wren". They will try and find a hole into your house or barn and make a nest... I've seen them attempt to make their own holes too. Check your home siding closely or he may be back. Cute Lil things that eat bugs.

How cute...kind of looks like the same body shape of a junco. They start hanging around here this time of year. I haven't seen a junco yet though.

I don’t know about the behaviours though. Checking for holes sounds like a good idea! :)

Nice! I think he actually lives in a little bird house on my back porch... Cinder pushes the screen door open if I open the main door so she may have provided the entry route... I will still do a thorough check:) I’m glad to know he may help with my spider population though

I was thinking house finch...they like to camp out on your porch under the roof. It's hard to tell because the finch, wren, and juncos all look so much alike.

Yes...and neither photo looks like the wrens I see here. Maybe they fly into the US to get a tan.

John (@johnandjade) has asked me to mention that he is o.k. but he's convinced that his posting into the CDR isn't of any value.
I've told him that he is wrong. And that we think a great deal about him and look forward to his posts.
He is now on FACEBOOK: John Sellers
If you miss him....Like I have, you can reach him there.

Yes, we have them (Carolina wrens) make their nests in very odd places around our house.

I believe he posted to me and vice versa. I do remember him...but really. There's a lot of threads of conversation going on all at the same time and it's really hard to see all of them. I didn't see CarolM s question about QueSi until 2 days later. It's a wonder I found it. I was glad to share the story...I just didn't run across it before then or I would have answered.

I currently don't have a clue as to what is going on in the CDR or any of the members within. Except that I speak to @Lyn W from time to time and a few others via FACEBOOK.

Good mornooning all. Today the family is heading to my in-laws to celebrate FiLs 80th birthday. His actual birthday was 29th November, but one of the grandchildren was working in Japan, so we delayed the party :)
Well that IS something to celebrate. I hope everyone behaves and it’s an enjoyable event for you!
