again. This happened twice in the forenoon and once in the afternoon. At 6:30 (after sunset) I went to look into the nest. Deserted. However, Brown-eyes appeared from nowhere in a few seconds, inspected the eggs and then stepped in. Earlier in the afternoon she was v ry hunger. Green eyes watched her eat from a distance of six feet. I gave her worms to end up with. She carried two of them in her beak for a time.

She did not go to the nest this time when I went there. (Juncos have practically finished a nest under a small huckleberry beneath the oak in the patio..
