Little scare on the porch

Today I had scheduled a pick up from a local thrift store.  Since we updated out closet I thought that it was a good time to go through all my clothes and get rid of what I don't wear anymore.  I can't believe that I filled up 5 bags full.  So when I came home for lunch this afternoon they had put the receipt on my front door.  As I approached the door a bird flew out of my basket right toward my face and scared me half to death.  It looks like my house finch couple has returned.

This is the basket by the front door.

 
I went inside and grabbed my camera and took this shot.  One egg so far.  The nest is hard to see so I didn't even know that they had made one.
