Update on the finch babies in the neighbors planter....

Juvenile House Wren......

The camera is not really made to be a point and shoot but try the following settings and see if it helps. This is what I set it at when I want to just point and shot. Set the mode select wheel to P In Menu set the ISO to set range 100-800, This allows the camera to adjust to lighting changes...

Yesterday was Independence Day for the robins. One had left when I took this shot and this morning the nest is empty.

House Finch

They grow up soooooooooo fast.......

This whole work thing has gotten in the way of photography again. Anyway I did stop at the neighbors to check on the finch and some of the eggs have hatched. Now i have another family to try to follow.

My neighbor has a House Finch nesting in one of his hanging plants.

It amazes me that she can drop one worm at a time to feed the babies. if you look close you can see the one on the far right just got his and she still has more.

Under my deck. I hope to continue to document their growth on my 365 thread.

This is my view of the Robin nest from the basement. If I am much closer than this she will not come to the nest or if she does she will not feed the babies until I leave. So I sit there when I have time and watch for her to return. She was on the nest for this shot.

Mom watching from the oak tree.

Oh Mom I'm just too tired right now......

Breakfast time.....

And the fourth baby makes an appearance. I hope Mom appreciates all the photos I have taken for her. :cool:

Thanks Marilynne and Jeff. This nest is under my deck which is about 10 feet high. I need a ladder to see in. And it is not an easy shot as my camera just fits under the deck and above the nest. And DOF at that range is poor at best. As of this morning the fourth egg has not yet hatched so maybe...

What do you mean you ate the whole damn worm...That was for dinner tonight!!!!

Three out...one to go.....

And then there were two......
