It came out of no where. I’m guessing something moved in recently as the weather cooled.
Probably a wren.

Well that wren is homeless now. And I put a new screen on the vent so no more freeloading unless he pays rent.

Dryer is working just like it's old self again. I actually, just for good measure after advice in this thread, took apart the dryer and sucked it clean. Really humming now.

Be careful with that screen. I think screens are against code in many places. It can cause bad buildup of lint. Better to make sure you have a vent with a damper to keep birds out.

It's like a small plastic fence thing I got at home depot. Not a full screen.

I had one of those for about 5 minutes. It clogged up almost immediately so I took the damn thing off.

Well whatever I’ll check after a few loads and see. If it’s full I’ll take it down. Was 5.99

Mine is similar to that, but will pop on and off quickly for cleaning.

I think this is the one. I just remember it being under $10 at Lowe's and this looks like the hinged piece on mine.
