Here's our little back yard surprise you have been waiting for! Baby junkos. They always nest on the ground in tall grass. Aren't their little yellow beaks so precious? The whole nest could fit in the palm of my hand. These are only ONE day old! "Have any worms?" they peeped at me! I felt bad the momma bird was all up in arms about me being near the nest. I promise to let you be with your babies momma bird. I just needed a few pictures to share. "Chit, chit, chiiiiiit!" She cried. Snuggled back in, right under those chamomile stalks. Good thing I didn't clean out the "weeds" last year! Can you see the dog hairs in the nest? They gathered them from the yard and trampoline from our golden retriever, Bacca. The mom and dad bird looked like they had mustaches with the hairs and grass in their beaks! So sweet! Enjoy~ Gretchen
