yesterday the three Carolina Wrens that have been growing up in the rafters of our back porch fledged and then promptly shoved themselves into a miniature cave in our driveway wall

this morning I watched one of the parents show two of the three how to squeeze under the porch door to head back to the driveway. the third was like "nah fuck that" and plopped themselves down between the wall and my watering can

Papa Cardinal was out and about too! He and his mate have three nestlings in one of our arborvitaes that we think will fledge soon too, they're about four or five days younger than the wrens based on when we first heard peeping. We dump a lot of fall leaves in the once-was-a-garden above the driveway wall as part of our effort to tamp down invasives there, and it's a really good spot for caterpillar hunting hehe
