House Finch nests
This documents recently completed nests in hanging ferns on my front porch; I only intended to photograph the nests but to my surprise found an egg in one!
Feeding Time
Daddy finch is tending to the baby finches, 5 total. Mommy bird is taking a break.
First of many House Finches!
We noticed a pair of birds frequenting our tree/shrub on our front yard. I eventually took the time to look through the bush, and found this perfectly shaped cup! I was thrilled to see this pair thriving together.
Went back the second day to find the female had laid an egg! We are so very excited to share and document this journey with you!
~Take care, Kat

Nesting in door decorations
The eggs look like Robin’s eggs, but the bird does not look like a robin. The bird jumps off the nest every movement in the house. We never noticed the nest building until the eggs were already hatched.
House Finch Nest and Babies
This is the second year that they build their nest on the light porch in our front balcony.
House Finch nests and babies
We have several hanging baskets and each has a nest. Also have a rolled blind on the porch where the babies have hatched.
Mama House Finch
Right outside our patio door this little mama nested on a light fixture. Hoping it will not be too busy for her to raise her brood.

Name These Birds – House Wren or Finches
Every year I get these birds that build their nests on my patio area which is covered by lattice work. I’ve always wondered, exactly what kind of birds these are. jman3005

Final Day of my House Finch nest
The final farewell to our nest of House Finches! Mom & Dad seemed to be calling them from the nearby trees, and shortly before they left the nest, flew over the hanging flower basket and fluttered above the fledglings, seemingly telling them to move out! Within the hour, all three fledglings were gone.

House Finch Nest in Hanging Spider Plant

House finch?
Two nests built in my grill, share a common wall. 5 eggs in the second nest built.
House Finch Nest?
We believe this is a house finch nest. Accidentally discovered it when we were preparing to repot this hanging plant. Returned the hanging basket to its place on the porch and the momma bird returned to the nest within 30 minutes. Saw her leave the nest this morning and quickly went out and snapped the picture. Believe its a house finch nest, but with where the nest is, I can’t get my camera to zoom in for a clear picture of her.

2 months aftet we moved in and hung our boston ferns on the balcony, finches nezted in one, laid eggs which have hatched and now its day 3.
Finch Nest in a hanging planter
The nest is in a planter on our patio right next to a bird feeder. We’re waiting to remove the bird feeder to provide the nest some privacy.
House Finch
We figured out why one of our Boston Ferns was turning brown and sparse on the top. the last time we watered, I don’t think we took the fern down. I may have soaked the newly-woven nest. We saw birds flying out of the fern for a week after that so I held my cell phone camera over my head and took a photo. No more watering the fern for a month at least.
Mom must have been desperate. We just moved in and hung the fern in February. The nest is in one of two hanging Boston Fern, on our busy balcony,shared with warring hummingbirds and their feeder, potted ficus and 3 planter boxes of flowers, plants and herbs.. The fern is usually taken indoors and watered weekly…well WAS but not any more! Nest built and eggs laid within 5 days.
