Songbirds Ready Nests as Hatchlings Arrive
Gazette columnist Catherine Eckstein explains nest building and incubation. Most nests hold four eggs, some six. Cowbird eggs may appear if nests are left unattended briefly. Parents brood, feed, and defend until hatchings occur. If you find a fallen chick, place it safe and watch to see if parents feed it.
Garden with 35 years of care inspires local gardener Carl Frank
