A tribute to a great Dad, a great Columbia neighborhood

For baby wrens or teen-agers, the Jones-Wright Addition is a good place to wake up in . . . from first hand experience, Shamarie says, in this early Father's Day story.

I went to help my dad yesterday and when we got done, he said, "Bring your camera. I want to show you something."

In his shop behind the house on a shelf was a nest of baby wrens.

Of course I took pictures and when I was done he told me it was the third year in a row the mother wren had come back. Dad lets her nest remain during the winter months and then in the spring, when Ms. Wren returns, it's ready to move back into to raise her babies.

I can see why. I was raised in that neighborhood and can say from first hand experience... It is a good place to wake up in!
