Dark-Eyed Junco eggs nestled in the perennial garden by our house!! The female incubates the eggs for 12-13 days and the nestling period is approximately 10-13 days!!
All four babies were hatched successfully
and are growing very quickly!!
Mom and Dad are not too far away!!
These little babies fledged the nest the day after this photo was taken!! We are fortunate to have them with us year round!! They will soon be introduced to our backyard feeders.... They prefer millet over sunflower seeds. Dark-Eyed
Juncos also eat insects including flies, moths, butterflies, ants, wasps and beetles.
