If so,it chased away the finches and took over the nest, and will probably kill the finchs when they hatch. Nasty little birds those sparrows.<BR/>When you see those nests...you get rid of them.<BR/>Good luck.<BR/>NoraNora Hamptonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05677418609032997011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4795047404768489836.post-42797283436966031592008-06-01T23:18:00.000-04:002008-06-01T23:18:00.000-04:00That looks like a house sparrow (meanie lil' birds...That looks like a house sparrow (meanie lil' birds who try to take over my blue bird houses)<BR/><BR/>I wonder if the larger egg belonged to a different bird altogether....one that the house sparrow "evicted". <BR/><BR/>This is neat like a live-cam...I'm anxious to see the babies :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4795047404768489836.post-79435660592673213812008-06-01T21:08:00.000-04:002008-06-01T21:08:00.000-04:00Hey Heather.That one larger slightly different egg...Hey Heather.<BR/>That one larger slightly different egg is a tad suspect. Check with the resident bird experts at church...Judy Schojan. She knows tons about birding. Ask for her email and send her the pict...or have her look at it on your blog.<BR/>She will know. Cool tho...huh?<BR/>I had hummingbirds nest 2 years ago. I loved it.!<BR/>NoraNora Hamptonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05677418609032997011noreply@blogger.com
