Monitoring Neighborhood Nests

Lately, I have been monitoring several nests in my neighborhood. They belong to the following species: House Finch, Barn Swallow, Yellow Warbler, Baltimore Oriole, American Robin, House Sparrow, Blue-grey Gnatcatcher, Red-winged Blackbird, Northern Flicker, Hairy Woodpecker, Bank Swallow, and Northern Rough-winged Swallow.

American Robin nest with three nestlings.
 For the longest time, the parents have been constructing their nests and incubating. Finally, I had the chance to see the chicks of three species. Until the rest hatch, I will keep you updated on them.
