This is what's in the "well feathered nest" of a House Wren. Note the snakeskin, hair, small feathers, striped blue and neutral plastic strip, straw and sticks. We found these abandoned eggs (7) in a nest box that we were cleaning for this new year's hatch (hoping there is one). We love to have House Wrens around cuz they eat insects, preferrably spiders and sing a beautiful song. Unfortunately, our house cat caught this mother Wren before she could hatch these eggs. We put a bell on his collar and a coyote got him. Oh, well, ... life and death in the forest.
