Wonderful Wildlife Wednesday!

We have lots of Bluebirds here on Bluebird Farm but we have even more House Finches here on the farm. The Finches love to build nests all around the front porch and in the front yard. The above photos are from last spring. Last year they constructed a nest out of my dear sweet 27 year old white mare's tail hairs. They added a little stuffing from the dogs (de-stuffed) toys from the back yard and whaaalaaa...a soft cushy nest for the little ones. I collect horse hair nests from around the farm (the ones they don't use). Doesn't this Wonderful Wildlife Wednesday Photo collage remind you of Easter? Have a Wonderful Wildlife Wednesday!
