So I've been occupied with some other projects recently, including replacing some fascia boards, soffits, and gutters on the back of my house. So today I go out to do some sanding on the 914, which I admittedly haven't touched in months, and I find a bird's nest behind the driver's side firewall in the very corner.....this confirms the fact that I need to get my lazy ass back on the project.
...but now I feel somewhat obligated to wait for the birds to hatch and move on, since it's mostly due to my lack of working on it that the little bastards are in there. Hmmm,,,, (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) Maybe this gives me a few more weeks to work on the house? I wonder if I'll feel like an "empty nester" when they're gone?   |

Good for you for giving them some time. I hope the eggs hatch and the birds all develop and fly away.
Carolina wrens? When we lived in Savannah there used to be several of them in our backyard. Great little birds! |

I love to see happy wildlife in a car, it's normally rats or raccoons. Neither of those usually makes you say awwww.

I drive my truck 5 days a week and Park it on weekends.
Found a bird nest with eggs under the hood one day. It doesn’t take long for them to move in... Niece commutes 75 miles a day 6 days a week And the mice still made a nest in her glove compartment.. Babies and all... They are quick to settle in.. |

...based on the nest/burrow it has made, I think you are correct ... carolina wren. I hope the "hatching to mother kicking them out of the nest" phase happens quickly. That being said, at least wrens are small birds. An ostrich would have been a mother!
