I saw this little house wren at a nearby park last summer. Looking through my telephoto lens I was able to see the impressively large moth the bird was carrying. As I watched, the wren flew down from the tree and landed next to one of the metal posts that was marking out the parking area, and went inside (they were at least partially hollow). I could see the movement of chicks inside the post as the wren fed the moth to one of them.
Beautiful images and words. Makes me think of the Oscar winning animated short: The Boy, the Mole, the Fox, and the Horse.
Thanks, Marika! I haven’t heard of the short before, I’ll have to see if I can find it!
