Empty nest. This morning I watched two adult Carolina Wrens and two itty bitty teeny tiny juvenile Carolina Wrens flitter flutter around nearby dense cover as the adults showed the younguns what was fit to eat. It was pretty amazing. Maybe I've finally gotten my ladder back ... until next year, but won't disturb the nest since I don't need to use the ladder right now anyway.

Those wrens like to come back to the same spot every year. I suppose a lot of birds are that way.

Well, they couldn't have picked a better spot all things considered. Had a Wren nest in that ladder once before too. Won't mess with that nest unless I HAVE to use that ladder. I'd find it interesting if the nest is used again or not. Maybe they build a new one every year, maybe they return to an existing nest if available ... just dunno and might find out.

Lots of Carolina wrens here in NC (go figure). They always make new nests here and tend to build them in the same spots 2-3 years in a row.
