All,

A couple weeks ago my wife noticed House Finches near one of our potted 
ferns.  We tried to keep them away but when we got back from a recent trip there 
was a nest and one white egg in the plant.  We decided to let things be.  Later 
when I saw the female leave the nest (the fern) I checked and we now had three 
white eggs and a brown spotted egg.  Being humans, and so interfering with 
nature, I removed the Brown-headed Cowbird egg.  I probably should have let 
things be but I had no desire to have to subsequently pick up broken eggs or baby 
birds from my deck.  A classic case of man over nature for the advantage of 
man. 

Take care,
Bob Reiling
