I love to look at it and see things I recognize from around the yard.<br /><br />Just a note to anyone who wants to try to keep one that is empty. Take it and put it on a covered cookie sheet...then bake in a very low oven for several hours. This will kill any bugs or bcteria that are nestled in the nest.Tonjahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08699862913139313405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3809056835301186628.post-45842746619616907592010-06-23T10:09:01.215-05:002010-06-23T10:09:01.215-05:00So enjoyed this post Janie, I have had a few, not...So enjoyed this post Janie, I have had a few, not so pleasant experiences with barn swallows on our porch. They would try and attack us every time we went out side. We finally bought an artificial owl and hung it on the porch, and it sure worked for us.lol<br />However I found it vary interesting that your wrens would build such a messy nest. Maybe they waited until the last minute and were in a hurry. lol<br /><br />I also went back and looked at some of your previous posts, and enjoyed them so much. You have such a gift and talent for photography. Absolutely stunning photos. Thanks for sharing this talent with us.<br />Enjoy your week and stay cool.<br />Hugs,<br />SueSuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16949983164111997270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3809056835301186628.post-72539727223698560942010-06-23T08:01:44.804-05:002010-06-23T08:01:44.804-05:00That sweet persistence and the determination to ge...That sweet persistence and the determination to get that house built in time---you just gotta admire that tiny, tiny drive and ambition.<br /><br />Nesting is one of the primal instincts of us all, and if those birds could see MY nest at the moment, they'd feel like wee Frank Lloyd Wrights!RachelDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11204947567574886675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3809056835301186628.post-50062509009005586292010-06-23T07:57:49.106-05:002010-06-23T07:57:49.106-05:00I know I've seen some nests and wondered how t...I know I've seen some nests and wondered how they ever survived...hope your little wrens nest makes it through...Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11745604261113221887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3809056835301186628.post-89139324641950783602010-06-23T07:39:37.237-05:002010-06-23T07:39:37.237-05:00They do frequently pick the spot where we would le...They do frequently pick the spot where we would least want them to build.
