Little finch haiku

One-week-old finches
sport mohawks with drowsy pride
in their tiny nest

There are actually four baby finches in the nest on my front door wreath,
one of whom was Little Blue Egg.
This photo was taken a week after they hatched on Easter.

    • The baby finches really are so precious! Tempted to name them Scout, Jem, Atticus and Little Blue Radley 🤣🤣🤣. We have a bluebird nest in a house out back on the deck. Really hoping to get some good photos of babies when they start flying lessons.

  1. I love this perfect triangle of fuzzy heads! What a joy, watching them transform and grow. Looking forward to the flight report, too. Favorite phrase–“drowsy pride”.

  2. Congratulations, Fran! They are adorable with their Mohawks! What a great photo. I love your line “sport mohawks with drowsy pride”. Thank you sharing the update, poem, photo and inspiration. I imagine your granddaughter must love watching the little chicks grow. 🙂
