| I bring you the 2010 edition of "Birds on my
Porch." This year we may have two competing nest going at the
same time. Several years ago, I noted that my porch was being used as a nesting place for birds. That year I took pictures of the nest each day and posted them here. There were two batches of birds that year. Due to a hard drive failure I lost the first set of pictures, but I still have the second set: Birds on my Porch 2007. In 2008 there were no clutches of eggs, but the birds returned in 2009: Birds on my Porch 2009. And this springs edition Birds on my spring 2010. |

location of the nest: We are located in the
Greenwood/Phinney/Very North Ballard area of Seattle. The nests are in a depression in the top of a pillar on the South West and South East corners of our front porch. |

A picture of the Male bird of the pair. UPDATE: I thought these appeared to be Purple Finches. They have now been identificd as House Finches. |
