It was another 7 or 8 years before they began to show up in our yard, and began nesting in the neighborhood, completely displacing the House Wrens we already had. And now they are with us all year, coming even in the snow. We see them once a week or so, but then we have to be looking at the right time and I suspect they are around every day, checking for spilled seed (and especially suet) on the deck when we are not looking.
