I was watching the robin swallow the five inch worm. The bird could not do it right away. It took a few tries before it completely swallowed the whole thing. It was snowing and there was a large bare patch under the pine tree under which it dug up the worm. Later on I saw another robin foraging under the tree. They must have a hard time when it snows to do that. This is another spring snow storm.

The Carolina wrens who have a nest less than ten feet from our front door are flying back and forth usually with a worm in their mouth. My wife for the first time stood underneath their nest and could hear the babies. We are going away five days. By then the babies might be grown and have flown away. Baby birds grow so quickly. It seems as if every year a bird has a nest somewhere near us.

The Carolina wren hopped on the fence and sang so sweetly. This was unusual behavior by this bird but there was a nest they planted ten feet away in a wandering Jew plant hanging from the middle of the garage. Now I knew what they sounded like. More than once we saw the birds fly from the nest. Several times we saw one with a worm in his/her mouth. I could not hear any babies. It appeared as two birds were flying back and forth from the nest. The nest was facing the door and my wife was careful not to disturb the birds when she watered the plant. Now I know what they sound like. It seems as if every year some bird nests nearby our front door.
