I realized that I hadn't ever gotten around to posting pictures of those house finches (the chronicles of which were documented at an earlier date.) ! Here they are:
 |
| Eggs- the speckled one was the Cowbird |
 |
| Tiny hatchlings |
 |
| Another shot of the hatchlings, when they were a little older. The Cowbird had died at this point. |
 |
| More of those cute little chicks. |
 |
| The nest was pretty crowded with four fat chicks in it- and dirty too! |
 |
| The eyes were almost open at this stage. |
I think I already posted pictures of the chicks as fledglings.
What happened to the cowbird? Did it hatch or did the mother finch move it out?
