Sitting out there this morning having a cup of coffee and noticed we have a tenent.  Kind of suprised us as it is near the door and we are constantly in and out.  Doesn't seem to bother her to much.

We had a Robin nest on top of our back door porch light 2 years in a row. She didn't seem to have a care either.

That's cool as [L] John.  Funny how the little birds have become more important in my life as I grow older.  Wife found a woodpecker nest in one of the trees while mowing the lawn.  I've moved a lawn chair over there to just watch from. :confused:

I haven't see a wren in many years.  My grandfather put plugs in the ends of the pipes for the clothesline and they nested there.  Good memories.

She/He is a Benwick's Wren, the males and females are the same in coloring and size so I'm not sure which is which.They are insect and seed eaters but insects comprise 90% of their diet.  Hope she becomes a permanent resident.

Same here, I spent a good deal of my life surrounded by violent death and destruction and now can appreciate more of what life has to offer.
