I was so blessed this summer to watch a family grow in a hanging pothos on my porch. The plant took a beating but it was worth every second.

That almost happened to us one year with a hanging pothos basket! The parents got spooked and abandoned the eggs but I’m happy for the birds you helped!

Too cute. Looks like house finches? They got pretty comfortable with you from the looks of it!

They were house finches. If I sat on the porch too long, she'd flutter and flap around like she was saying, "Okay, that's enough. Time to go, I'll take it from here!"  
What a bossy squatter.

So jelly! We got nothin’ but big bossy crows in my front yard. I’m going to plant a hummingbird’s delight in the fall in my backyard to make up for it. 🌺

I've been seeing a lot of hummingbirds but they're moving so quickly I can't grab my camera to catch a photo of them.
