I saw this Box Turtle on wood chip pile - seemed like maybe she might be looking to lay eggs? - noticed her missing right eye and that she looked lethargic - following day she was in about same place so I brought her to local wildlife rehab where she recd a antibiotic shot and I returned her to the chip pile - she was gone later that day. so hopefully she recovered.
Eggs of a Dark-Eyed Junco
In the ditch in front of our house. Saw the parent junco.
Saw dark-hooded male leave nest. Nest is under a potted fern on our patio.
Saw Junco flush from the nest
nest under overhanging trail edge
Nest dug into switchback on Grouse Grind at roughly knee height. Parent flushed from nest when I first found the nest on 10 Jun. This time, on 20 Jun, the parents were nearby, then flew off.
