Definitely not at Jordan Lake! Grayced the Cat, my home companion, wanted to share with you some of HIS birds he watches while Doc is at the lake. This is a pair of House Wrens, cousins to the Carolina wren, getting the nest box ready for eggs and chicks. At this point in the process it is Momma wren that is doing the nest construction. Dad wren dashes about singing his territory song – I wish I could have shared his song with you but the little iPhone couldn’t capture the sound through the picture window. BTW Grayced the Cat has his own Facebook page where he and I occasionally post some of his adventures and good sleep wishes – you can visit his page at https://www.facebook.com/GraycedCat/.
Hard work building that nest! Does Grayced watch quietly or does he want to go out and participate personally?

He does a little shiver of anticipation whenever one of the wrens dashes past his picture window but so far he has remained silent. Grayced’s domain is all indoors and even when I have the front door open while I bring in packages, he sits quietly on the sill and makes no effort to dash out and chase the birdies.
