Update on my resident Carolina Wren hen...as of tonight, she has laid one gorgeous little speckled egg in her cozy nest. Curiously, though, she isn't on the nest or even near it at night. I know she won't incubate until she's got them all laid, so where does she and her mate spend the night, in that case? Irene (and nest with egg) in Southside
