We also have very sporadic hummer activity - one male and a female, but I haven't seen either since last Saturday.  House wrens have been here for about a month, one is singing away right now out back by their favorite Maple tree.  No lack of Mockingbirds, Catbirds or Brown thrashers, they are all making quite a racket.

Good birding,

Frank

We took the dog to the vet on Monday late afternoon, and I was listening to a singing House Wren that was going in and out of a small clay wren "bottle" they had up, and mentioned to my daughter how we hadn't seen or heard any at our house not far away, besides the one I had seen very early in the season. Then, voila, there was one in our yard yesterday all afternoon! Where've they been?
