I know: They are the most common wren in the world. But when I hung a salvaged "decorative" bridhouse, after removing the entry pole, I had an industrious wren hauling in twigs for nesting. For the first time. Today, there were two, but I can't tell yet whether the second bird is a mate or another male challenging the territory, or another female the male has swooned.
The backyard has now become noisy with the dominant, effervescent voice of a tiny welcome tenant.
