A Catbird and Carolina Wren
Author: siggyA catbird was having a tug of war with a four inch piece of straw on the ground and lost the battle. It then disappeared through the fence under a large bush. Catbirds have had nests in that gigantic bush before. I will keep an eye open for it and its nest and babies. A Carolina wren must also have a nest somewhere near. I saw it alight on top of our fence and beautifully sing out its distinct call. I have not spotted its nest yet. Last year it had a nest in one of our flowering baskets hanging from the garage door. I will keep my eyes open for both of those birds.
