Prior to this morning, Mrs. Finch would come by, not long after sunrise, add a few things to the nest, futz around with this and that and then be off, sometimes for hours at a time. She rarely would come by in the afternoon and did not spend any time in her nest other than construction and maintenance activities.
This morning, however, she has changed her behavior. Thrice so far she has come and spent time just sitting in the nest like she was brooding eggs. She would sit in her nest for more than 5 minutes and just chirp away. On the second sitting (so to speak) Mr. Finch came over and they sang to each other and displayed courting gestures. That is what is shown on the video.
Sorry about my voice on this video. I was speaking for
Mr. Finch saying: "I'll go get a bug for you!"
The third time she was chirping away and Mr. Finch came over and was actually feeding her. So romantic, now if he would just rub her feet. I'll post updates shortly after something interesting occurs.
This sure is interesting to me and I hope for you too....
Whoohoo!!!

Eggs already! Wow, if that's the case, to think Mrs. Finch was 'putting out' just a couple days ago, so close to giving birth. She is a very accommodating woman.
