On Sunday a pair of House Wrens arrived in my backyard.  The resident
Carolina Wren tried to chase them away from the water bowl and a
day-long battle ensued.  The House Wrens started bringing nesting
material to the old bluebird box under my deck, so I guess they are
here to stay. The Carolina Wren is still around but not as vocal or
visible as usual.

Also, saw my FOY RT Hummingbird today - a beautiful male "tasting" the
salvia plants on my deck ...
