A Carolina wren had made its nest in a pansy pot hanging from the garage door. The nest faced the inside of the garage. I spied the birds repeatedly getting and bringing pieces of suet to their young. I stood below the nest and still could not hear the young. A while back I had shined a flashlight into the nest and spotted three eggs in it.
Today when I opened the garage door I flushed two young wrens out of the nest and they half flew, half ran into my very disordered, cluttered garage. Their parents were squawking very excitedly nearby. I left the door open so eventually the two birds would find their way out.
I did see one bird against the far wall, then flapping near the entrance of the garage door. I assumed it got out.
Then I had another encounter with another local denizen later on. I could not understand why all of a sudden six cats were congregating near the computer. Suddenly I spied a small mouse trying to evade their grasp. I quickly trapped it with two sneakers and released it outside near the woods. It must have been terrified for I checked the sneaker an hour later and it still was in there. I encouraged it to run into the woods. These were my two encounters with the creatures around my house.
