Update on the baby birds

Our new neighbors are growing like gangbusters! Jan’s mom thinks they are house finches. That’s the best guess so far, though both of the parents who frequent our porch have near-identical coloring.

In a matter of a few short days, the babies have lost almost all of their baby fuzz and are now sporting adult feathers. They’re practically crowding each other out of the nest, and I’m sure they’ll be taking their first flights any day now.

    Oh my gosh! How adorable! What a great life experience to be happening right outside your window. Wish I had that here in NYC. LOL All we get is pigeons and they seem to go from hatched egg shells on the grond to full grown. Never ever see a baby. I personally like the May 2nd picture where they look like they are all singing. :-)
