Nest

Carolina Wren Nest, Close-Up, Pittsburgh, PA 2019

A pair of Carolina Wren's built a nest on our busy porch, and bailed on it as soon as their young left the nest.  I was just going to toss the nest out when I noticed the intricacy of the construction AND an unhatched intact egg.  My guess is that the egg wasn't viable somehow and that's why it didn't hatch along with its nestlings.
The excitement around here is almost more than the beagle and I can bear.  My wife's used to it, so she's fine.
