A grub to be delivered to baby junco :)

Waiting patiently to be fed
We've spotted three baby juncos out in the garden lately near their nest. Juncos are ground-nesting birds so they and their fledglings are especially vulnerable to predators such as cats, raccoons, squirrels, and snakes. You can learn and see more about the precarious, awkward lives of fledglings here.
A bonus recording that I took of the junco family playing in the morning:
