Update on our baby Juncos
We enjoy sitting on our back porch watching mom and dad Junco taking care of their hatchlings.
One or the other will sit on the garden fence and "click." Are these warnings or are they ways of signalling the other parent to the area?
Then they fly away for awhile, or go hunt on the ground beneath our feeders. Then they fly into the flower basket so quickly that we can't get a photo of them coming or going.
At times they sit above the nest. Guarding it?
The babies are doing well. It appears there were four eggs and now three little guys.
Mom and dad taking a break together. Being a parent of babies is hard work!
