The rare Perry County subspecies of House Wren, Known as the House
Trailer wren, have returned.  I heard one in the woods two days ago.  It
was a migrant, because there were no trailers around.  They tend to nest
near trailers.  In fact, I build a nest box in the shape (and color) of my
old house trailer, and they moved right in.
     Meanwhile the Carolina wrens are comfortably lodged in the chicken's
mailbox.  They had first built an elaborate and huge nest in my welding
hood, but abandoned it when I had to close the door to the shop. Moved the
hood outside, but to no avail.  Felt bad about that, but they seem to have
adjusted.
