{Carolina Wren on Nest}

You have seen photos before from a Carolina Wren on a Nest, in the greenhouse and such.
This time it had her nest in one of our fiberglass window boxes from Flower Framers of Cincinnati, on our kitchen bay window.
In my header, above, you can see the bay window... this nest was to the right.
When I walked around the bay window, with my camera, I could just capture her on the nest.
Our White  Verbena are not looking happy here; they actually died off.
But how clever to build against the corner, under the protection of the roof extension!

  4. Liebe Mariette,
    ich liebe es sehr, wenn Tiere gleich welcher Art sich in unserem Garten wohlfühlen und freue mich immer,
    dass dieses Jahr z.B. ein Meisenpaar ihre Jungen bei uns im Kasten aufgezogen hat -
    Eichhörnchen, Igel und viele Vögel sind bei uns zu sehen - das ist so schön -

    liebe Grüße - Ruth

  5. Lieve Mariette,

    Leuk om de broedende vogels in tuin gade te slaan.
    Ik sta er vaak ook versteld van op wat voor plaatsen vogels hun nest bouwen.
    Dit jaar net als vele jaren op rij nest van merel in de hedera boven de serredeur en in het nest verweven plastic draagtas.

    Vogels bouwen hun nest op in hun ogen veilige plek én ze moeten er zeker van zijn in de omgeving genoeg voedsel te vinden om hun jongen te voeden, maar daar is op jullie landgoed vast geen gebrek aan.

    Fijn weekeind en lieve groet,
    Ger

    Liebste Grüße

  18. Liebe Mariette,
    wie schön ist es wenn sich Vögel in unseren Gärten so wohl fühlen und ihre Kinderstube darin einrichten. Hier bei uns tun das sehr oft die Amseln. Sie sind so an uns Menschen gewöhnt und bauen ihre Nester an die ungewöhnlichsten Stellen. In unserer Eibe vor dem Küchenfenster hat mal ein Finkenpärchen gebrütet.
    Ich wünsche Dir ein schönes Wochenende. Liebe Grüße von Carmen

  19. Dearest Mariette,
    It looks like you had a bird's eye view of the carolina wren nest! (Excuse the pun!)
    Bird's build their nests in odd places. We always have phoebe's nesting under our deck. Lat year house wrens built a nest in a wall pot just inches from the door onto the deck. Do you think some birds build so close to humans because they feel safer from predators?
    Have a great weekend.........*s*
