Wren's Nest



We were a little slow in getting our birdfeeders down for the summer. Now, I reckon we'll need to leave this one up for a while longer as a Carolina wren is in the midst of building a nest. By day's end, she had all the nesting material inside and organized better, although neatness doesn't really count when it comes to a wren's nest.
