Life outside the door

My wife was slightly annoyed this summer to find that something was building a nest in the hanging planter one foot outside our front door. The plants she had meticulously planted and nurtured all spring had been matted down and replaced by a small igloo shaped nest. Yet we have been fascinated to see these two little Carolina wrens together build up, strengthen and fortify their nest. For the last few days the male has been continually bringing small bugs and worms to the nest, feeding the female and flying off, only to return with another in a few minutes. It has been a wonderful lesson in teamwork and caring for each other. I fill you all in when we have screaming little wrens in a few days.
