Kimberly,



My guess would be House Finches, simply because they not uncommonly nest in hanging baskets! Nestling birds are very difficult to identify if the parents are not seen.



They almost certainly are not European Starlings, which nest in cavities-- old woodpecker holes, crevices in buildings, etc.

A friend found this nest of baby birds in a hanging basket of flowers, any idea what they are? My first guess was Starlings (but I really don't know what I'm talking about). She's too far away for me to get an up close and personal view.
