My wife, Mary Jo, took these pictures of a "house finch," she thinks, which built a nest in an artificial wreath Mary Jo had put up. The wreath was high on a wall, about eight feet off the ground, under the metal roof of our carport.
After a few days of building the nest, the finch laid some eggs and began sitting. Then a crow came along, tore the nest apart and destroyed the eggs.So the finch rebuilt the nest and laid another clutch of eggs. 
Running late in the season, the poor thing had to pant to keep cool enough.After a few weeks, four chick were hatched, and the male showed up to help keep them fed. They grew rapidly. 
Today, they were discovered.
