witness  a Carolina Wren start building a nest in our old kitchen cabinet  
drawer


When I was a little girl in Florida, we had one that built its nest in the  
toolbox on the passenger side floorboard of Daddy's tractor.  That bird  rode 
around, sitting on her eggs, while Daddy harrowed the fields.  Later  on, 
during the second phase of harrowing the fields, the baby birds were in the  
nest 
and "Mama" would fly onto the moving tractor, feed her babies then go  hunting 
again.  She repeated this over and over while Daddy harrowed his  ten acre 
watermelon field.
