Ed Kennell 35,849 #1 Posted May 25, 2016 I saw this little finch pulling nest material out of Mrs Ks front door wreath. Assumed she was building a nest somewhere. The nest was in the wreath. Now I can watch them hatch through the screen door. And with a mirror with the door closed. 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WHX?? 46,814 #2 Posted May 25, 2016 Mrs P. has had house finches nesting in one her hanging basket one year and now every year they come back to the same basket. Hopefully you don't have neighbor hood cats to pester them like we do! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elcamino/wheelhorse 9,062 #3 Posted May 25, 2016 Maybe if they hatch in time they can travel to the Big Show. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DougC 2,641 #5 Posted May 25, 2016 This is my favorite time of year the birds are singing and nesting, the squirrels are frolicking on the newly mowed lawn. The grass and leaves have turned bright green,and in the spring a young mans thoughts turn to Well I'm not a young man anymore so I guess I'll get the and do some mow'in... 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

953 nut 51,775 #8 Posted May 25, 2016 Too bad you won't be able to use your front door for a few weeks, but you will have a front row seat for the babies. We had a cardinal nest in an unused hanging basket in front of the living room window one year; so neat. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
N3PUY 1,031 #9 Posted May 26, 2016 I have a robin's nest on my loading ramps. I had to use the ramps Saturday so I moved the nest to the yard cart for an hour and then put it back. This is today's picture. I take a pic every day. They'll be leaving soon. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squonk 38,965 #10 Posted May 26, 2016 (edited) We've had a robins nest under our gutter for3 yrs. now. I think the first batch is out of the nest. There's 2 robins out side now and have been going bonkers for over an hour! there's a little tweety bird hanging around on our window sills for the past 2 weeks. We named him Timothy.

Ed Kennell 35,849 #11 Posted May 26, 2016 (edited) I'll post some signs so no one uses the front door. Sorry, no live camera feed, but I will post pics as they hatch. Edited May 26, 2016 by Ed Kennell 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ed Kennell 35,849 #17 Posted June 15, 2016 The birds left sometime yesterday. Seems awfully quick.. only 12 days. But there was no sign a predator got them. All that was left was a messy screen door that I spent a half hour cleaning up. That poop is like concrete when it dries. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
