[SBB] Junco Chick

[[[email protected]]]

Good evening all....

 

Today I watched a male Junco feeding a chick in my atrium....the chick still had a large yellow gape, three wispy feathers on its head and it's tail was about 1/2 inch long (all and all the chick was about 2 inches long)....tonight, i opened the wood front door of the atrium to let the chick out....it kept flying into my glass front door... even now as I write this hear the adult Junco calling .....what a little cutie...

 

I have had only two female Black-headed Grosbeaks on and off at my feeders....lots of Cowbirds, Red-winged Blackbirds at my feeders.  The big surprise and addition to my yard list was a Band-tailed Pigeon sitting on top of the feeder pole!

 

Wishing you all good counts tomorrow!

 

 

My best regards,

Linda Sullivan
