House wren builds nest in nest box; four chicks hatch by end of June

In May we began to hear a singing male, and near the end of the month the first twig was placed in the nest box. In past years the male house wren jumped into action as soon as eggs hatched, bringing in food to help feed the hungry youngsters.
