In addition to wrens we have cardinals nesting in our yard. Each spring (although it's only our second here) we see Papa Cardinal come to the feeder with his young. They are a lot of fun to watch because the babies shake fervently just before the father feeds them a seed. They aren't as shy as the wrens so we can watch them up close.I should give props to the feeder... it is a hand me down from my parents. I think it has been around since 1972 when we first moved to Virginia. I adore it.
Ornithologically, it's been a bit of a change living here compared to south Florida. I do miss the flocks of VERY loud parrots that would occasionally fly by but I think I prefer the owls that hoot all night long.
