    Parents checking in

    Both parents are visible in the nest, presumably checking on their hatchlings.

    Devoted parents

    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

    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

    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

    Once the young are a week old, the parent will no longer brood them at night.

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