House Finch abandoned nest???

I had a House Finch make a nest in a Geranium hanging basket on my porch. She laid 6 eggs. We had a bad storm the other night, and I took the basket down because of the high winds, afraid that the eggs would get knocked out. I put it back the next morning, but have not seen the birds since. I have not touched the nest or moved it out of the basket. Has she abandoned her nest?

She probably has. In the future, leave the nest be. The parent birds will sit on it to protect it.
Reply:Wait.



Finches scare easily.



If you don't see her back in a few days, she may not be back.
