How cool! Take good care of them. It's always special when Mother Nature lets one of her critters spend time on the edge of "our" world so that we can appreciate just how special they are. You are very lucky.
OK ~ I have studied that picture and have to know...what kind of bird is this and what are they tucked into? Such a cute photo and very interesting nesting technique! Love seeing this but inquiring minds want to know more! So cool that they come back every night!
Webb, I have had two to three little birds sleeping under the awning for about 10 years. Sometimes there is only one, sometimes two. Most times they are together, but once in awhile they seem to be spatting and one sleeps on one side and one on the other. And once in awhile they have a house guest. Hugs! Bonnie
Layne and Julie...Okay, I had to do a bit of web searching. I am almost certain they are house wrens. I never see them fly in or fly out. They are tucked into the frame of the awning over my front door. They only roost there in the late autumn and winter months. It is the last thing I check before heading upstairs to bed. Aren't those the sweetest little bird bottoms. I love how they nestle in together. Hugs! Bonnie
Since you live in the south, could they be Carolina wrens? As they have been coming to that spot for 10 years, this is probably 2nd or 3rd generation. We have robins that build a nest every year in the same two places. I often wonder if these birds come home to where they were born.
I love how they snuggle in together, too! There is a little group of bird who do that in the evening, at my local grocer, up in the eves of the overhang in front of the store. I never thought about it, but I suppose maybe they stay all night,as well!
