No Wrens Here

I found one bird house that the house wrens did not take over at Mr. Neil's (the house wrens took over his wood duck boxes this summer).

I believe this is some type of funnel spider that has had quite a productive hunting spot in the form of this web built in around this wren house.

Bits of grasshopper, june bugs and daddy longlegs were all over the web. I really can't take spiders very well, but of course curiosity got the best of me, so a blade of grass twitching on the web, got the spider's attention:

Ack! She takes up the whole one inch hole! Enough spiders for me, I'm outta here. The wrens can clean this house out on their own next spring.
