The birds are all grown up

If you have been on this blog lately, you will know that I've had the pleasure of watching 5 House Finches grow up! I have to check their status every now and then just so I can water my plant but I always have 3 unhappy parents squawking at me. BTW...is it weird that there are 2 males and 1 female keeping watch over the nest? I really don't know! Anyway, as of yesterday, this is how big they have gotten. The poor guys barely fit in the nest! They all have cute little feathers and will probably be leaving the nest in the next day or two. :( Β When I took pics this time, they weren't so sure about me. They definitely weren't begging for food from the big, black lens hovering over them.

You can find the original post here. The chicks' final pet portraits...
