Let the nest building begin

For the past 4 or 5 years I’ve set up a couple of WCOs as RobinCams. But this year it looks like I need to rename one to FinchCam.

It captured a pair of House Finches starting to build a nest on my harbor.

This a screenshot of the pair. When I get home next week, I’ll adjust the camera to center the nest in the frame.

This male house finch is checking out another nesting site. His colors really show in this clip.

Do they get brighter as mating approaches? In the color sense, I mean. :slight_smile:

It seems to vary based on their diet.

I thought that was where the Robins lived?

That has been Robby’s choice in the past. But I haven’t seen any robins looking at either site so far this spring.
