[QUOTE="witzend, post: 692971, member: 99"] Finches aren't a desirable bird to have nesting. We also have problems with those and the wrens. You should go to Lowes or Home Depot and get a small bit of 1/4 inch construction mesh - like goes over the crawl space in the house - use some wire clippers and cut them just 1/2 an inch larger than the opening of the light. Then bend up the edges and insert them into the bottom of the fixture.
