Wow that is a GREAT picture!! I never see any nests around here, never mind get that close to them!!

Very, very cute <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I thought you might like to see this picture of the last little Goldfinch left in the nest. Just as she was getting ready to take a picture, one of the babies left the nest & one had already left earlier. This picture was taken on Sept 17.

Awwww it's so cute!! It does look like it has barely enough feathers to fly with. I suppose that's why it's the last one left behind right now ... but hopefully it'll get into the air soon!

I just found out that he has now left the nest too. These guys grow up quickly!

Hey, he had feathers, he didn't want to hang around a boring nest while he could be soaring in the sky <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

WOW..what a spectacular close-up...thanks for sharing those, Mavis.
