These pics aren't the best but they're the best I could do. I had to get up on a ladder and reach my hand up under the soffit and point the camera in behind the bricks of my house. I had to take a bunch of pictures before I found where they were but here they are. Aren't they sweet?! ![[Linked Image]](http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y139/daisymaesunshine/House%20and%20Garden/Birds3.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y139/daisymaesunshine/House%20and%20Garden/Birds1.jpg)

Could be a Swallow or a House sparrow. They also nest under eaves.

They're sparrows. I saw their mommy. Their mommy wasn't happy about me taking pictures. It was quite the ordeal...the little babies were chiping away...the mother was squaking, my cat was going crazy with all the sounds..and my dog was barking because she didn't like me on the ladder.
My boyfriend said he's going to fill in the hole after they're gone...I kinda' like them in there..safe and cozy but he's right, eventually it will make quite the mess.

Those are probably House Sparrows due to the location and type of nests. I have a nest of them in the ceiling of my front porch roof but can't get to them to take pictures. Robin Nests are much easier. Yesterday I saw a male and female Northern Cardinal feeding their baby who had left the nest. The baby was actually a Brown Headed Cowbird.

I also saw a mother Carolina Wren with her three babies flying around one of our community parks and got the BEST view I ever had of a House Wren at a local cemetery. I was two feet from him. He was singing and his WHOLE body shook like a magnitude 9.3 earthquake. I got pictures, but they came out as silhouettes due to the fact that he was backlit.

Christina, those baby House Sparrows look like Trumpet Vine Blossoms. with their bright yellow mouths and throats.
