We've been watching the nest since the beginning of the month so we knew they were on eggs. It just blows my mind how tiny they are. Sine they're too fragile to hold, I'll have wait until they're bigger to take a photo.

SandyinLargoFL --- Isn't it incredible how tiny they are??

It blows my mind that something so small actually "works" -- tiny heart, tiny lungs, etc.

I remember when I saw my first finch chick. I'd seen lots of bird babies, but never a finch. I remember thinking "Oooh, I can't wait to see what comes out of that tiny egg!"

What's even more incredible is how fast they grow! By the end of the second day/beginning of the third day, many have doubled their size at birth!
That's crazy.
