Thanks Barbara 
I did a little wren research and I found this:
All About Birds
The bird looks exactly like this but the sound is different...at least the sound it was making yesterday is.
Thanks for the hint, it helped  |

Yesterday I saw a magpie. It was singing like a whole flock of different birds at the same time. I know it can imitate different birds, but I didn't know it can imitate the whole flock. May be your bird is imitating too?

Oh WOW!!!!!!!!  You really did make a habitat!! That is too cool!!!! Make more videos!!! Make more videos! Don't disturb the nest too much though. The parents might not return. How are you going to water that though?

I didn't touch the nest at all! 
I used the zoom on the camera to get that 
The Staghorn doesn't take lots of water, I just mist it once in a while with my sprayer so I can avoid the nest |

An update...
There are actually four eggs in the nest. The mama bird has flown out of the nest as I was passing a few times and scared the *^&^ out of me!
Today, she allowed me to take her picture |

Tin, they are Carolina Wrens...
and the babies have arrived!!! 
The thumbnail pic was taken within an hour of them hatching and the link will bring you to a video. Once you see them jump, there's not much more so you don't have to watch the whole thing  There will be more videos coming in the next days 
I counted 4 or 5 eggs (didn't want to get really close to the nest) and there are a bunch of babies in there
We seem to have two hams right up in front of the nest

Maybe the National Wildlife Federation will certify your staghorn fern as a wildlife habitat !!!
