This photo was taken over spring break at my house in Raleigh. In the photo are 2 Carolina Wren's (Thryothorus ludovicianus) cuddled up on a sub 40 degree night. The 2 birds began to sleep near our front door on top of a column around December/January. My mom noticed it and decided to place some white cotton for the birds to see if it would help keep them warm at night. The birds have been sleeping in this small 'nest' every night that it reaches approximately 45 degrees Fahrenheit. This shows a positive interaction between a human (my mom) setting up a place to help keep the Carolina Wren's warm and safe. A reason why the Carolina Wren's have chosen this area is most likely because they make their nests only 3-10 feet off the ground and the top of this pillar is approximately 8 feet off the ground.
