So, yesterday as I was rolling up my shop door, I reached out to hook the chain to the hook & a Bird and I scared the Bejeezus out of each other.
Apparently a Carolina Wren (my favorite east coast bird I've seen so far) decided to build a nest in the gaps of the shop framing & built it next to the roll up door chain latch.
I had not rolled up the door for a week or so, so I hadn't really noticed the nest taking shape.
Mamma bird flew out & I took a photo. She came back an hour or so later and started yelling at me in an agitated squawk so I left for the day. I will be trying to rig up a camera to catch video (or at least some photos), but that all hinges on if I can get my wifi thrown out that far (we moved the router to the back room to hopefully extend the signal a bit further).
You can see she lined the nest with some dried snake skin she found somewhere & the nest is about the size of my fist and about 6 inches deep.
So, I might have some temporary, honorary shop companions for awhile I'll update if they hatch!
