Monday Nature Mystery

Terri correctly identified the nest and eggs of the Carolina Wren (Thryothorus ludovicianus). It’s often called the “little bird with the big voice.” Carolina Wrens are known for building nests in strange places! They have been found in hanging flower baskets, golf carts and even boots. The nests are constructed of many materials, like moss, pine needles, and leaves. Both the male and female build the structure together.
