These wrens will nest in odd places

This Carolina wren was found hanging out near the home of Marisol Fontanez, in the Blue Jay Mobile Home Park in Dade City. Carolina wrens seem to love nesting near humans. Nests have been found inside garages, in old shoes and empty cans, and even in clothespin bags hanging on well-used clotheslines. Compared to its counterpart, the ‘Florida’ Carolina wren is larger and stouter, with a darker rusty chestnut above and deeply colored below.
