While we were away in Florida this past April we had some guests take up residence behind the light on the front of our house.  I did not want to move the nest so I let the house finches lay their eggs and have their babies.  It was a fun chance for the kids to check out the birds as they grew.  Only problem is that it was a tough spot to take decent photos.  We thought there were 6 eggs (of which I could not get a picture).  Then we could count at least 4 birds, maybe 6.

When I went outside to check on them two days ago there were only 2 birds in the nest. I looked around for the other two but could not find them. Before I got a chance to take a picture Ava yelled about seeing a bug and scared the two baby birds. Chloe and I got to witness their first flight out of the nest! But then there was only an empty nest to take a photo of.
