A pair of housefinches made a nest on the eagle’s wings that stand guard above our back deck door. Eggs were laid the day that Hurricane Arthur passed through and one blew out of the nest and cracked. The other three hatched a couple of weeks later and as I type this today (July 31, 2014), the young are just about ready to fledge.

The parents built a nest in an old Christmas wreath, and it was a beautiful and safe home for these adorable chicks!
