We found this nest in the row of Potatoes, with I think two babies laying there just breathing.
A parent was nearby--not in panic mode yet but letting us know that we
had better leave.
Two babies I think---could be another one stuffed in there.

Cute baby and a pretty shot of the sparrow! Have a happy day!
Cute - even though they are so strange looking without feathers or much fluff! Great photos.
You never no what you will find in a potato patch. Great photos.
Great find!! Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
Babies in pumpkin patches, yes but in a potato patch???
That certainly is a new one on me.
Looks like they are well protected from most eyes.
so cute. grow, babies, grow!
What a neat discovery in the potato patch. A fine post.
Hi how wonderful to have found that and to be able to photograph it for us to see. I Hope they are not too exposed. Margaret
The white-crowned sparrow is new to me. Very attractive bird. And probably experiencing high levels of anxiety with you sniffing around her nest! :)
They're so tiny!
They will fly before you know it. In the meantime, you can eat tatties.
:-)
It's incredible how small and vulnerable they look, what a sweet summer discovery!
Are they baby robins? You know squabs are a delicacy! :)
What a nice find - and the parent looks relaxed enough.
The kids did have a bit of a laugh about locking D out of the house!

That's interesting finding a bird nest complete with baby birds in the potatoes! I find them in the raspberries, but at least that is up off the ground a little bit. Great pictures, as always!
Great captures...aren't the babies darling?
Glad you shared this little wonder of nature with us. Peace
