Not a good day for the chickadees....

Yesterday was not good for the chickadees.   Two start at the end - we still have two chicks!!!

The nest was attacked by a wren.  All four chicks were moved from the main nest area, and then three were taken out of the nest box.  I found one on the ground - still alive - and put it back in the box and moved both remaining chicks back into the main nesting area.

The mother returned and is feeding them.  Just hope the wren doesn't return!!!
The YouTube video shows what happened - but don't watch if you don't want to see the mean wren!!!!!       https://youtu.be/BeZD7_GG1Ug
