Williamsburg Bottle Birds '07 (House Wren)
William Dalton said:
The bird jar is a reproduction of jars that were found during excavations at the James Geddy House (circa. 1762), Williamsburg, Virginia. At first archeologists did not know how early colonists used the jars. The tab on the lower lip was what led them to believe they were used to attract nesting birds. A small branch can be placed in the hole to provide a pearch. This House Wren picked my jar to raise a family as one did in 2006. I wonder what species of birds used them in 1762?
