[FINCH64@xxxxxxx]

Somehow a Carolina Wren got in our house today. We figured it must have flown 
in through the door when somebody held it open too long.
It was in our garage converted into offices. We have three levels of high 
shelves on the walls where we put our file boxes. The boxes have holes in the 
side where you grip them when you carry them. That wren was inspecting some of 
the holes in the boxes. 

He didn't seem very afraid of any of us at all. Eventually my sisters and 
mother shooed him toward the door which we opened to get him out. They also had 
taken a screen out of a window hoping he would fly out that way. He sat on top 
of the door a minute and then flew out safe and sound.

During his time in he flew around close to the ceiling lighting only a few 
seconds here and there, clinging to shelves, clinging to the cord for our 
fluorescent lights, sitting on top of the fluorescent lights, etc. It almost 
seemed 
like he wanted to stay and was looking for a good place to sit. I don't think 
we have enough insects in our office to accomodate him for long, however ;-)
