So at 4 p.m. this afternoon, my husband looked out our front door and the male house finch was sitting on our outside front door light — yes, where the nest USED to be! Where it’s been for at least two weeks without anyone sitting in it or visiting it. And now 24 hours after my husband took it down and “gave it back to nature” as he told me, the darn bird is back!
He sat on our light fixture for a few minutes chirping and hopping around where the nest used to be. Was he looking for the nest? Did he forget that they’d abandoned it? Should I go find the nest and put it back because they finally came looking for it?? Did we make a rash decision by tossing out the nest?? Or did they just forget about it because they had too many other things on their mind? I mean there’s a pandemic out there for goodness sake!!
My husband said if they try to build another nest in the same spot, he’s going to be angry and take it down immediately. I am just annoyed that I didn’t have my phone with me when the bird showed up this afternoon, that would have been a really good photo!
Notes from a Self Quarantine 
Uh- huh. Birds have too many demands,don’t they?! I have that experience. And the same happened to me. I had taken LOADS of photos of the sparrows for my blog. And mom deleted them by mistake! Sometimes I wish I had a phone of my own. Please tell me the BEST way to take photos of birds.
