House Wrens Vanishing Across Local Farms
A local report notes a sharp decline in house wrens this year. At a farm that once hosted three to four nesting pairs, no wrens returned to any nesting box this spring. Evening strolls reveal the usual wrens’ chatter is absent, with only a few nesting records this summer indicating a reduced population.
House Wrens Arrival and Nesting in May
House wrens typically arrive in the district during the first two weeks of May. They nest in cavities or nest boxes, with nests built from dry twigs and lined with grass and bark. Six to eight eggs hatch in early June, and by September the adults and young migrate south for winter.
