View of nest with four babies showing feathers on April 6, 2014
Saturday morning April 7 I went out to look at the babies and the empty nest was on the ground. I felt devasted because some animal must have found the nest during the night or early morning. No sign of baby birds!

Hungry Junco hatchlings on April 1, 2014 survived the rain storm last night. More rain predicted for today.
The Junco pair is back again this year! They built a nest and laid four eggs in the same place in the boxwood bush by our back door. I’ve been checking the nest every day. We’ve had rain storms with more rain to come. Today one of the eggs hatched! You can see the open mouth of the little hatchling.
Looks like three of the eggs have hatched now. (later the same day)
Chickadees, Juncos, and Jays Oh My!
