It is Friday and Fridays are for fun. I keep a birdhouse on the back porch. It is just outside the window when I am in my office. Every year house finches build a nest in it. They are fun to watch and they sing beautifully. They are busy little birds. When their young hatch they will be even busier gathering food and bringing it back to the house. I bought a new birdhouse this year. It is empty. The birds either don’t like the house or the neighborhood.
