Always find lots of vireo nests though, often in places that we walk right by all of the time! We usually don't see them until the young have fledged. Blue grosbeaks are the same way.sweetbayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06248743114944736346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7113123529932691813.post-24048831262133752742011-08-02T09:46:09.277-05:002011-08-02T09:46:09.277-05:00I planted about 5 cyclamen corms (?) this spring a...I planted about 5 cyclamen corms (?) this spring and hoping they will come up! What a treat to find a white one!<br />Love the goldfinches, don't know that I have had a nest in my garden that belonged to them.

I'm wishing the eggs well!Monica the Garden Faeriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06369882350990949968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7113123529932691813.post-26787382721492958442011-08-02T02:15:57.837-05:002011-08-02T02:15:57.837-05:00What a great post!!!

I am so excited to have time to visit some of my favorite blogs...they are all so inspiring and I am NEVER disappointed! I am lucky to see are inspirations that I would never have found had I not found each of the my friends that I see online!

They usually nest later than most birds so the timing makes sense. I hope the eggs can hatch and the babies fledge safely. At that height, it seems very vulnerable. You'll have to keep us updated.<br />I read your veggie post too. I understand about having to make choices on what to winter over and how much room you have in Kathleenhttp://kaseyskorner.typepad.com/kaseys_kornernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7113123529932691813.post-73430963752760789172011-08-01T18:12:33.726-05:002011-08-01T18:12:33.726-05:00How cool!!

They are messy birds as they do not clean the nest as some other birds so I try to keep them off the front porch. <br /><br />Still no rain in GA either. It is a struggle to keep everything in the garden happy..... Sigh....Skeeterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08222522533934405029noreply@blogger.com
