The darkside of the House Wren......

Earlier this week I was reading on Wildlifegardeners.org a thread about House Wrens attacking and killing newly hatched Chickadee's.

TO read the original post: http://www.wildlifegardeners.org/forum/birds-other-than-hummers/8545-house-wrens-chickadee-predator.html

I was interested because I couldnt believe it to be true and also since a pair of Chickadee's had moved in to the bird house that the House Wrens had lived in the past few summers.

I went out and took a look and found some terrible things. I cant say for sure if it was the House Wrens who did it but evidence points in their direction.
Chickadee hatchlings



Chickadee Egg

 This is where the suspected murderer lives.
