The Finch Nest


This finch nest is just outside our kitchen window, on the north side of the house and under the back porch overhang. The male sits on a nearby wire and sings. The female built the nest by herself, near as I could tell.

At the risk of violating the Prime Directive, I climbed up and took the nest photo. But to get a photo of the bird is harder. You can see her sitting there if you're at the kitchen sink. But taking a photo through that old glass is tough (that window hasn't been open since Santa Claus was president).

It sure looks like there's an egg in there.
