The house finches have laid 4 eggs and they are just the smallest little fragile things!!! I can’t wait to hear the little chirps of the babies in about a week or so. It takes about 14 days for an egg to hatch. They’ve been there for over a week so I am thinking it could be any time now.

Sadly the baby robin did not survive. Momma robins leave the nest during the day to get food and I am afraid that is when we had that nasty cold snap. It was only about 45-50 degrees Fahrenheit during the day and almost to freezing over night. Hopefully she still has time to have another clutch of eggs before winter.

I will take pictures and keep you all posted about the house finches. 🙂

We have a robin nest in our front yard! It is in a bush that is right along side our garage door. It has been there for 3-4 days to my knowledge and there is one angry momma bird in there! She flies out whenever we are out side and chirps at us from near by trees.

So in 12-14 days we will have some baby robins!!!  (Day of first sighting was Sunday May 2nd.)

Pictures to come soon.
