Feeding and Nap Time for May Finch Chicks

The May clutch of chicks being raised by a pair of Finches in their nest on our front porch are getting more active by the day. Here's a glimpse of them being fed, first by Dad, then Mom and Dad. Afterwards, Mom settles in on the nest while chicks nap after having their fill.

Nest Update: Hatchlings!

Last weekend, there were four eggs... this weekend what appear to be four chicks. We'll see exactly how many when their head's start popping out of the nest at feeding time.

Stay tuned to watch the May brood feed, grow and fledge.

Nest Update: 4 Eggs

After doing a little more research on finches, I discovered that it may take several days for Mom to lay all her eggs. Since the March clutch had 4 eggs but there were only 2 eggs in the nest when I checked a few days ago, I took another look today. Sure enough, now there are 4!

Stay tuned to watch the May clutch hatch, feed, grow and fledge.
