Carolina Wren

Hello! I hope you are having a nice fall. The weather here in Houston, TX has been really really nice. I cannot complain at all.

I have recently found out that there is a pair of Carolina Wrens that live in my backyard and the surrounding area. I have found them sleeping under my back porch and inside the rolled up plastic door of my greenhouse... and after disturbing them a few times I have bought 2 bird houses and placed them on opposite sides of my backyard. One is for Wrens and the other is made for larger songbirds like Chickadee or Bluebirds.
Here is a few pictures of the birds around the yard:

Can you spot it? It's sitting on the fence next to the dead banana leaf.

Here is one sitting on a power line.

...and another sitting on the fence again.
