Raising a family - Dark-eyed Junco with a mouthful of worms
Berkeley Hills, Berkeley, CA
This maile Dark-eyed Junco, along with her female companion (shown in the previous picture), is busy finding worms and bugs for their brood. He stops at the cables as a staging area, making sure there are no other predators or dangers lurking nearby before returning to their nest. Every now and then, both parents seem to have left their nest unguarded, and are out and back with food at the same time. It's a lot of work to raise a family. They probably have a hungry brood to feed.
