Upon closer inspection, I spotted a small egg.
I went to the house to get my camera.
When I returned, I found a bird incubating the egg.
This is a Carolina Wren. It is common for them to build nests near homes and amongst people things. I have a previous blog about a nest in a milk jug in my greenhouse. Over the years, they have built nests in our winterized sailboat and under the pool cover.
Update: Day 2
The nest contains 5 eggs.
Update: 12 days after the first egg was observed, baby birds are in the nest.
It looks like 3-4 chicks.
Update: We went on vacation and found an empty nest 21 days after the first eggs was observed.
