We found a bird nest in our tree near the front porch. Ben has been watching it and found that she laid her eggs. There are five pale blue colored eggs with dark spots. We were hanging out on the front porch tonight and "Mom and Dad" were not happy at all that we were there. Kelly tried getting some pictures of the female, but she wouldn't sit still very long. She did manage to get one semi-descent shot and we were able to make out her colors. We looked the information up on the web and we have a family of House Finches.
The boys are so excited that we have eggs in the nest now. We told them to make sure they leave the nest alone and never to touch the eggs. We are going to continue to watch the nest and update with some pictures.
