Raising a family - Dark-eyed Junco (female) with another food delivery
Berkeley Hills, Berkeley, CA
This is the same femaile Dark-eyed Junco shown two pictures ago. Along with her male companion (shown in the previous picture), they are busy finding worms and bugs for their brood. She 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.
