Gardener's Notes:

Chillybean
We rarely see these birds all summer, but sometimes early in the breeding season and most often late July through August. This is the first year we've seen any of their destruction. We found a pierced Mourning Dove egg.
This is our first year to have a nesting box up, but the only interested party was a pair of Tree Swallows and even then, they moved on after checking it out. It is between our driveway and pasture, and there's no real close by trees.
Last year a male made a dummy nest in an old Barn Swallow nest above our front door.

If you like the wrens, that's great, but understand that during the nesting season, they may be the only bird you see in your yard. They were fun to watch, but I don't think I'll encourage them next year. I missed seeing the goldfinches at the thistle seed feeder.

They didn't bother my finches at all.

On the plus side, they eat lots of bugs.
