Nest Full Of Eggs: Photo Of The Day
A pair of house finches built this nest in a Lafayette yard, right next to the homeowners' back door.

LAMORINDA, CA — Lesley Rosselli is being entertained by nature during the stay-at-home order. She tells Patch, "We have a pair of house finches that recently made this nest and laid eggs. When they were scouting the location mama bird flew into my kitchen when I left the door open so I ended up catching her with my bare hands and set her on her way - guess she enjoyed that as they started building the nest soon after. Papa bird would occasionally land on the wreath when I had the door open, too. Which is why I’m so surprised they built the nest where they did."
We're looking forward to seeing the chicks when they hatch, Lesley. Thank you for sharing this photo!
