The Finch Family

In May, 2007, a pair of red finches built a nest on our front porch. It was so much fun watching the babies grow from eggs to nestlings, to full grown birds reading to fly. The finch Mom and Dad were so successful with the nest on our porch, they had a second family in July. Our granddaughters Ella, Meg, Tayler and Mariah enjoyed watching the birds with us. This May, another pair of finches, perhaps the same pair, built a nest in the same place on our porch. There are three, maybe four babies. It won't be long before they are ready to leave the nest. Maybe we'll have another finch family this year in July. What do you think?
