SAD ENDING
Saturday, 9 May 2015
At 10:30 a.m. on May 9th, 2015, I found the house finch nest on the ground, with no sign of the birds, or even the unhatched eggs. I presume a cat attacked the nest. So our photo journal ends on a sad note, the house finch family being yet another victim of house cats. Scientists estimate that cats kill a couple billion birds each year in the U.S., and our house finch babies just joined the tally.
