I have new babies! A nest near my house has recently hatched.

I am not sure what type bird it is, I think it is a type of Wren due to the nest shape. The nest is oval and has an opening on one side and is located in my golf cart (the batteries died so it hasn't moved in a few months).

I'm trying to get some pics of the momma, but she is hard to catch and I don't have great camera, just my phone. Here is a pic of the babies best I can get for now. They just hatched last night and yesterday. Any ideas on identification will be appreciated.



I've included a picture of my two Rouen ducks. DJ Duckstep (left) and Prince (right).

that I had on the porch. I've left it alone, along with the one unhatched egg that remains.

I've been looking at pictures of Wren nests and it looks like that is it.

If I get a pic of mama, I'll update here.

I just love new babies!
