🪺How it started:
We had a house finch family fully fledge in a spot on our house in May of 2022, and that’s when our nest watch obsession began! At the time, we did not have any cameras set up, but I would take photos with my phone on a selfie stick to monitor the growth of the babies! You can see a short video of this nest here: • Thorne's First NestWat...
In March of 2023, our house finches returned and we set up a camera to personally observe them. Mom laid 5 eggs, but unfortunately in the middle of the night, a snake infiltrated the nest and ate all 5 eggs. Since then, I’ve been doing research on how I can make a safer area for the nest area in case they decided to come back.
Thankfully, our house finches did decide to return! We documented their first brood all on this channel, so go check out all of those videos showing nest building, egg laying, incubation, hatching of the eggs and raising the brood!
Now, we are watching a bluebird nest, and we are so excited to have brand new residents to observe at our nest area!
