So a few weeks ago, I noticed two birds who were flying into and out of our front door area. So, the other day, I went to take a look- and didn't notice anything. Then, today...it appears that they have taken up building a nest in our front door wreath. Guess that is what I get for leaving the 
Christmas wreath up for so long. Now, there are 5 eggs and the mommy doesn't leave the nest. We've put up some paper on our door window so that she doesn't get frightened and fly away each time we pass by. We can still peek on her, without startling her...and I could never be a mommy bird- for days on end, she just sits there on those eggs. I wouldn't have the patience for that. The guys at the bird store think they are wrens, but they don't look like the wrens we are finding on the internet. We might see baby birds in 12-14 days (providing they are wrens). Stay tuned-

What a lucky family you must be! Surely somewhere there is a tradition that says a bird nesting in a old Christmas wreathe will bring good fortune to the family, kind of like the nest in a Christmas tree. Guess that means you can't use your front door for a while till the chicks leave the nest.
