A pair of wrens has decided to raise their family in the top drawer of our grill! The last photo shows the "entrance hole"!
It looks like we won't be grilling out for a while!

Thanks Glen! Yes, well worth forgoing the barbecue for a few weeks to see this little family grow up!
What luck! Awesome series!
It was lovely to watch them develop Jacob. I had hoped to watch them fledge but it must have happened really early one morning & I missed it.
Very true Despina! Actually, it was a pretty good choice for a nest site - safe from the raccoons & squirrels though obviously it was a good thing we noticed the nest before we lit the grill! :)
Nature is unpredictable :D
Wow! How beautiful to see them at such a young age!
Thanks Jolly!
Adorable little chicks.
The chicks are now 9 days old & beginning to develop the distinctive eye line. They will fledge in 3 to 5 days time.
Photo added of the week old chicks!
The chicks are now 2 days old & hungry!
Photo added of newly hatched chicks.
Yes, we were pretty excited to find this nest in such an unusual place Emma!
Wow!
Thanks Maria & Leuba!
Luckily Luc noticed before he lit the grill last night!

Wrens are so good at finding unusual places for their nests. Cool spotting
