Wren's nest

    View Large On Black
    Wrens built this nest in our broken porch light while we were away on a trip one spring. When we came home they abandoned the nest. This is the way we found it in the light fixture. You could do an "I Spy" game with this nest -- look for all the different things they used to build it.

      Extraordinary photograph, it reminds me of an old painting.

    20. basilly (47 months ago | reply)

      Oh no. That doesn't sound right for them to abandon the unborn??...the things in this nest are so neat...I love the way they lovingly lined the bed with some white feathers and rope...so sweet.
