Baby House Finches Are Here

We have five new baby House Finches! When I checked the nest on Saturday I discovered all five eggs had hatched. They are growing very quickly and will soon get too big for their small nest. Mama bird comes to feed them frequently throughout the day. I didn't realize until now that mama birds only stay in their nests until the baby birds have emerged from their eggs. After that, the mama birds only come to the nest to feed their always hungry babies. These once silent babies have found their voices, and their voices are getting stronger and more demanding each and every day. I have really been enjoying this event. It will be sad when they leave the nest.
