The Wren

Some weeks ago a Carolina Wren built a nest in the glove box of our John Deere Gator.  It sits in an old shed and is not used much in the spring.  So we carefully relocated the nest to a shelf just above the Gator and Ms. Wren accepted the relocation.  She sat on that nest for weeks but when we checked at one point she was gone and it appeared that the eggs were not hatched.  

We were very disappointed. Maybe the black snake (we have many) scared her off.  Who knows?  

We are deep in the wet summer here.  The weather has cooled making for nice evenings and good sleep with the whole house fan (that is when the ferrel neighbors aren't burning plastic).  

I have not heard the crickets durning the day yet so am not thinking fall is near.
