I have had 4 active nests in my yard this year. One bluebird, two chickadees and a wren.
I was going to tidy up some stuff around the side of my porch and found this little wren\'s nest tucked in a pot that was very conveniently under the edge of a tarp. The picture shows it after I had lifted the tarp. The mother was scolding me for sure.
I very carefully replaced the tarp. Last time I checked the babies had fledged.
Does anyone know if wrens reuse their nests ? I am wondering if I should leave it as is and maybe have it used again or can I clean up the pot now and do no harm?
