That's quite an observations of wren tossing eggs!!!   The little buggers are not very accommodating of other birds!   
 
There certainly are enough H Wrens among the boxes that I monitor.  In fact on my first count on May 24 when they were singing everywhere, I entered 19 in ebird - which generated:  "That is a very exciting number.... are you sure?" !!

This year, for some unknown reason, they abandoned the nest containing 4 eggs. Within 2 days I observed a House Wren (the first I've ever seen in this area) pitching the eggs out of the nest.
