| 5-15-10 | Today three little chicks were pulled out or they fell out of their nest. Their eyes were still closed and they were just getting feathers. DH and I collected them and he got them back into the nest. I don't know if they will live or if anything was broken. I sure hope there is a chance for life. The parents are back and so here's to hope. |
Even though they usually nest on the ground, my pair are in the vines that grown up the adjacent wall. |
| 5-18-10 | It is probably my imagination, but I think I hear little chirps from the direction of the nest. The parents are going back and forth still. | Junco Sounds: Call & Song |

I shot this video through the screen since I didn't have much time. One of the parent birds flys out towards the end. I'm pretty sure there is at least one baby alive. 5-18-10 | |
| 5-26-10 | Nothing in the nest today... no body to be found. Well I just caught sight of another bird trying to raid the nest. I guess that is what happened. | Perhaps next year they will try again. |
