Author Topic: Look what I found ChristinaC Garden Pro! Member # 4351 posted                       These pics aren't the best but they're the best I could do. I had to get up on a ladder and reach my hand up under the soffit and point the camera in behind the bricks of my house. I had to take a bunch of pictures before I found where they were but here they are. Aren't they sweet?! bbbbbbbbb Posts: 2202 | From: Ontario, Canada | Registered: Jan 2005  |  Logged: 24.36.132.77 afgreyparrot Official Problem Child Member # 1991 posted                       Oh, Christina!

They also nest under eaves. Logged: 68.154.223.85 ChristinaC Garden Pro! Member # 4351 posted                       They're sparrows. I saw their mommy. Their mommy wasn't happy about me taking pictures. It was quite the ordeal...the little babies were chiping away...the mother was squaking, my cat was going crazy with all the sounds..and my dog was barking because she didn't like me on the ladder. My boyfriend said he's going to fill in the hole after they're gone...I kinda' like them in there..safe and cozy but he's right, eventually it will make quite the mess. bbbbbbbbb Posts: 2202 | From: Ontario, Canada | Registered: Jan 2005  |  Logged: 24.36.132.77 Thornius The Bird Man Member # 5603 posted                       Those are probably House Sparrows due to the location and type of nests. I have a nest of them in the ceiling of my front porch roof but can't get to them to take pictures. Robin Nests are much easier. Yesterday I saw a male and female Northern Cardinal feeding their baby who had left the nest. The baby was actually a Brown Headed Cowbird. bbbbbbbbb A bird in the hand......can sometimes be a mess.

I was two feet from him. He was singing and his WHOLE body shook like a magnitude 9.3 earthquake. I got pictures, but they came out as silhouettes due to the fact that he was backlit. bbbbbbbbb A bird in the hand......can sometimes be a mess.
