Nesting Finches in the Garden

Posted on May 16, 2023 by Susanne Swanson

I saw this couple of house finches nesting in the garden yesterday.

I look for them each year as the clematis grows high, knowing that’s where I’ll find them in the shrubs and surrounding trees.

The male looks dapper in his rust-colored tux,

the female pretty in pink, adorned by clematis.

Happy together.
