Went out earlier checking on the bird nests and babies. Have been gone since Sunday night.
The cardinal eggs are ok, not hatched yet. The baby mockingbirds seem fine, hopping around the backyard being fed.
BUT, checked on the four wren babies. The nest is turned upside down on the ground. The babies are gone.
Yes they are gone.
Who knows what happened. Not sure I want to know.
Many predators in nature. Other birds, cats, snakes. I will leave it there. I understand this happens every day in nature. But I watched these babies hatch and checked on them every day. I cannot take any more bad news right now.

@LowRiderX About five feet. Could have been a cat or another bird.

But what?

I was at Home Depot this morning, and there was a bird's nest in the garden center in the garden hoses section! A bird built it's nest in the stack of hoses, and after a quick peak I could see there little baby birds in the nest! Not sure what kind of birds they are though. I could not see momma bird, but she was nearby screaming at me at the top of her lungs!
