THE WRENS AROUND ME, LONG ISLAND NY, ARE NOISEY AT BEDTIME BEFORE THEY FLY INTO THEIR NEST, ALONE. SECONDS AFTER ENTERING THEIR NEST THEY MAKE THIS SOFT NOISE ALMOST AS IF HE/SHE WERE SAFE AND COOING. I WAS LOOKING FOR MORE INFO ON THAT PARTICULAR OBSERVATION. IT WAS INTERESTING TO READ THEY MAKE ALOT OF NOISE SHOWING TERRITORY. I'LL HAVE TO GET MY BOOK OUT TO SEE WHAT TYPE OF WRENS ARE HABITATING HERE.
