I just found a Carolina Wren egg lying on the counter behind my blender! I'm sure it has been there since late this spring when we experienced (omminous music, please)The Invasion of the Wrens. At first I thought it was a jelly bean.

We had a problem with the back storm door this spring, and until we got it fixed, we were constantly shooing Carolina Wrens out of the house. I'm still finding the occasional wren's nest tucked into odd corners of closets and shelves.
