House Wrens are known to be a bit big for their size. We witness them often dive-bombing squirrels, chasing away Blue Jays, and scolding if someone even dares look in the direction of their nest box. Even their appetites can be a bit large.

I am yet to snap a wren. Such elusive birds. This are outstanding images, and yes I am so envious.
