House Finches made a nest in our front door wreath allowing me to eavesdrop using a tripod, a 70-200 mm lens and a remote trigger. This image was about 2 days before the chicks fledged. They are outgrowing their nest and are literally on top of one another. BTW, Dad does all the feeding in the last 5 or 6 days while Mom moves on.
