4 baby finches!
Mr. and Mrs. Finch have four baby finches. Sadly, neither of them wants to care for them, the babies are so thin! Mrs. Finch seems to have abandoned them and Mr. Finch refuses to feed them. I hope they are ok!
Finch Eggs on my Wreath!
I am just a kid in 6th grade who is very interested in birds. But seeing these eggs, and nature on my front steps, is amazingly beautiful.

RARE Yellow House Finch!
I was looking at the finches when I noticed this rare yellow House Finch! This is the second time that I have seen a bird like this.
House Finch Courtship Feeding
The finches were both feeding when Mr. Finch pushed Mrs. Finch to the edge of the platform feeder, Mrs. Finch flapped her wings like a baby bird and opened her beak, Mr. Finch fed her, he also fed her in the neighbor’s cypress tree.
Goldfinches
A female goldfinch comes multiple times a day to eat from my seed block. My finches don’t seem to like the thistle sock that much, mainly sunflower seeds.
Finches at the feeder
So many finches lately!

Fledglings
Lots of fledglings today! 1 White-winged dove,1 Mourning Dove, at least 2 House Sparrows, 1 Mockingbird, 1 House Finch, and 1 Blue Jay! The baby Finch couldn’t figure out how to eat the birdseed. He picked up a huge sunflower seed and then put it back. He couldn’t even eat the milo and millet. The baby Blue Jay grabbed on our window and ate a spider.

House Finch Eggs!!!
On my porch, there is this little white hanging bench swing that is supposed to be a bird feeder, but I never filled it up. And now, there is a beautiful pair of House Finches nesting in it!
The eggs are SO cute!
House Finch Nest with Cowbird Egg
Discovery of house finch nest on our wreath on our front door! We noticed the house finches stealing our artificial wrath twigs last month and now we found that they built a nest! It seems we have a cowbird egg in there. The House Finch hasn’t abandoned the nest yet! Will keep an eye on it and leave out the back door for a while.

You can see the details much better in this close-up. I didn’t mean to post the first one.
House Finch Nest in Hanging Spider Plant
This is the first house finch nest in one of our hanging spider plants. We’ve previously had two mourning dove nests in a different pot, though only one of them was successful.
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.
