Cool to spot this tiny nest with some teeny tiny quite newborn American Goldfinches within...

Thanks guys!  I couldn't believe how small they were, like chicken nugget size.  The photos sure don't give off their tiny-ness at all.  Once again, I paid attention to some adults, a stop in my steps and scope the area had me find this nest.  I didn't stick around for long, snap a few pics and off I went; hoping for a decent shot when I look at them on the computer later.
