Parents checking in
Aug 05, 2009 -
Both parents are visible in the nest, presumably checking on their hatchlings.
-
Devoted parents
Aug 07, 2009 -
Both parents feed the young, but during the first half of the nestling period, the male makes significantly more feeding trips than the female.
-
Clear view
Aug 10, 2009 -
Unlike most Carolina Wren nests, this one is lacking the typical domed construction with side entrance, allowing us a clear view of the nest contents.
-
Head count
Aug 11, 2009 -
If we didn't know any better, this image would lead us to believe there were four, rather than three young in the nest.
-
Alone at night
Aug 12, 2009 -
Once the young are a week old, the parent will no longer brood them at night.

Feeding Time

Fledged

Unfortunately, the cam got stuck at the time of fledging. However, all the chicks managed to fledge successfully.

Trying to feed

Open movie
Cam host Jennifer sent us this clip of an adult trying unsuccessfully to feed the nestlings a large meal. She finally eats it herself after putting it in a nestling's mouth and taking it back out multiple times. It has sound! -

Teamwork

The male likely found the food item and then delivered it to the waiting female. Now that's teamwork! -
Fecal sac removal
