There appears to be another chick in the finch nest! Of course, with them all writhing around, it's hard to be sure.
We also have a Robin's nest. It's on this ledge on our house right under the roof, behind the gutter drain pipe. The mother had been sitting for a long time now. I haven't seen any chicks, but sometimes it appears that the parents are feeding something.
I hope to be able to see the Robin chicks once they are bigger. They are just so small at first that it's hard to see. We had another Robin's nest last year, as some of my readers may recall. (
Robin Chicks! Robin Chick Learns to Fly (video) ).
We also have a Cardinal nest. The mother is so skittish it took me a while to confirm that it was a Cardinal nest, but I snuck up on her the other day.
There are two eggs in the nest and (sadly) one egg lying on the ground. The nest is in the same bush as the Mourning Dove nest last year (
Mourning Dove Pics! The Moment You've All Been Waiting For! ), so the nest will be fairly easy to observe, although it's higher up then the doves were.
It will be so fun to watch them grow their feathers.
I'll keep you posted on the three nests.
