The April Cardinal nest follows.
June 1 - Carolina wrens build a nest each year, in a shelf box on the other side of the garage. We keep all the dog grooming supplies here, and the nests are always tucked between the brushes and various coat sprays, just below eye level. There are 5 eggs in this nest, one laid about a week ahead of all the others.
The first chick hatched today. Head is about the size of a pencil eraser. It's obvious that Borzoi hair is used extensively for building material.
