celticdragonflyI think we may have baby birds in the birdhouse we put up outside the kitchen bay windows. I heard a lot of cheeping this morning, and when I was looking at the right angle, I could see a bit of beak peeking out. And there was a white fluffy baby-looking feather down in the grass.
I am not sure what species of bird would be having baby birds in the second half of December!
UPDATE: The birds I'd most expect to use that birdhouse, from what I've seen around here, would be house finches. I've been looking them up online. They apparently frequently do two broods a season, and have a couple weeks in-the-egg time. But the only source I found with seasonal dates said they lay eggs February to August. So, still stumped.
