Empty nester

Mon, 10 Aug 2020

On Saturday I realized the constant yelling of the Carolina Wren parents wasnā€™t happening, so Sunday when I changed the water in the bird bath I checked the nest. Sure enough: empty.

Carolina Wrensā€™ ā€œnestling periodā€ is 10-16 days, which I hadnā€™t looked up earlier or I probably would have kept a better eye on the backyard. Now Iā€™ll never know if I missed them fledging, or if a predator got them. Iā€™m going to hope for the former, but I sort of would have expected the family to still be around, and the backyard has been eerily quiet.
