Baby Sparrows

 
Posted by Picasa


A sparrow built her nest in a hanging basket in the old greenhouse. I keep both front and rear doors open for ventilation, so I guess it was an open invitation. I watered the basket sparsely and infrequently after I discovered the eggs and plan to continue till the babies fledge.Actually hanging baskets seem to be a favorite place for sparrow nests. I've had it happen several times. There were 4 eggs in the nest and she hatched all four. Only 3 are visible here, one is behind and to the right without an open mouth. I wonder what that droplet on its beak is and how it got there.
Hiram made this picture for me. If you click on the picture you can get a very good close-up.
