AHH! WE HAS BABIES!
Theres a house finch (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/House_finch) that made a nest in my hanging potted plant. She laid eggs a little less than two weeks ago and they hatched today! She laid 5 eggs and so far four have hatched. There so TINY and CUTE! I'm used to seeing ugly little wrinkled featherless things (baby birds when they're first hatched are rather ugly in a "its a baby bird squee!!!" kind of way- so not cute but very loveable. Well, 'cept for chickens. Baby chickens are cute fuzzballs oo*) and seeing these guys was a welcome shock. They had a white light fuzzy downy coat all over and tiny little beaks. Their eyes weren't open yet. I took pictures but my camera is crap. I may post them later. But, yeah, I'm tickled pink ^^
