For some reason, maybe it has to do with my last name… Finch (like the bird), birds are constantly building nests in random places around our house. If we leave the garage door open for too long, I inevitably have to remove nests from my golf bag or the top of my work bench. Plus, they somehow find their way in the house if we crack the door to allow a breeze. On one morning I woke up to a bird swooping over my head in our bedroom… I soon found out there were two birds in the house.
It’s quite odd… does this happen to other people?
About two weeks ago I went to the mailbox & a bird flew out of the newspaper slot. She’s been there for several weeks now & without fail, I forget she’s nested there & she’ll dive bomb me when I collect the mail. I bet the neighbors find it hilarious.
Well… two days ago I realized her little chicks had hatched. Today when I went to the mailbox I took my camera & caught a quick pic of our ‘special delivery.’ Joy isn’t too thrilled, she’s kind of creeped out by birds.
There are at least two in there, but this guy seems to be the most social… love the bird mohawk. Does this qualify as a newborn session?
