.. a go to stop during my walk this morning -- a favourite rose bush in the neighbourhood -- nice to see it's still alive & well.
I just discovered said house finches are trying to build a nest in my front door wreath. I've been battling the next for the past 24 hours or so but only now see they are the finches. It makes sense based on the location of where I was finding the birds in the tree. They are pretty insistent, having rebuilt it at least three times since yesterday! (There hasn't been a full nest yet, just the base of it). I've confused them finally by adding some little bits of aluminum foil; allegedly birds don't like shiny things. Hoping that will keep them away but not sure it is going to be enough defense. I have plenty of trees elsewhere on my property they are welcome to setup house. Just not on my front door!
The easy way up and down the hill - and conveniently, across the street from where I was staying.
From when the Big Boy Tour was leaving Las Vegas
24-70mm didn't cut it.
They are persistent little creatures! We've had them try to build nests in various locations near front and back doors and other inconvenient areas. One year, we simply gave in and let them have an area on the front porch and they seemed to have a successful nest. It was fun to watch. Thankfully though, it hasn't happened since.
i wouldn’t care if we didn’t use the front door!!
Oh, after our last robin experience, I can't blame you. They can get pretty protective of the nest, and while you're not really in much danger, they will nag you to death. Those robins were actually giving us a mean mug just watching them through our living room window. We were here first, bud.
Another of Digby sunbathing... this photo without the rubbish bins! 🙂
