Birdie Mae.......

[joyfulnewsong]

She did a really good job.  I didn't even notice the nest in the planter by the front door until it was completely finished.  Then when I peeked inside, the four little eggs were already there.

The next time I checked the nest, the Carolina wren was inside, sitting on her eggs.  I decided to call her Birdie Mae.

Birdie Mae seems very comfortable

our bird's a bit smarter...

You are such a menagerie magnet! Maybe the bird showed up to ease the loss of poor Ginger. We have a bird that nests high up on top of some outdoor speakers on our porch every year--well out of reach of any critters. (Good thing, as I found a snake on the porch floor once.) Can you perhaps use any of your sq. foot garden support buckets weighted with something (sand/bricks, etc.) and then stacked up to get the pot up at least a bit higher out of cat range, or would they just leap up at it anyway? It wouldn't be the most stylish plant stand, but you might save their little lives, and it would certainly be a conversation piece
