Day 3

No correct answers for the kind of bird babies these are yet, and I have 3 bookmarks waiting for new homes. Here is a hint: Male red, female grayish brown with stripes. Believe it or not, there are 4 babies in the nest. One seems to like to be King of the Roost!


There are 8,600 species of birds in the world today. They are found everywhere. Birds play a vital role in the balance of nature. They eat insects, pests and small animals. Fruit eating birds are best for scattering seeds for these plants. Seed eating birdsdigest seeds and in so doing keep millions of weeds from the earth...Birds have between 1,000 and 25,000 feathers.- Birds, U.C. Davis

OK, narrowing down with the colors and location, how about a Virginia Cardinal, a purple finch, a house finch, or a pine grosbeak :-) Multiple guesses are ok, no?
