Today I saw finch sex (not that I wanted to).

I also found a nest in a pot on my porch. The pot has dirt in it, so I put a couple of scrap boards we had left over from redoing the deck on top of it to keep the squirrels from digging in it. I was moving things around out there and took the boards off - surprise! The nest is formed like a tunnel, and there’s at least one egg in it. I figure it’s wrens.
