It's a double digit day! 😁 Dark eyed Juncos come to visit our area in the winter. It is one of the few things I enjoy about winter. 😏 They are quite fun to watch as the look around for food. They usually can be seen on the ground looking for it but I captured this one in the River Birch looking a bit puffed out from the cold.
Today's image is of one of my favorite birds, a Dark Eyed Junco. These birds are winter visitors to my area and I love to watch them as they get food from my feeders. I captured this one while it was taking a break in the River Birch tree during a snowfall.
One of the few things that I enjoy about winter is when the Juncos show up. I find them very cute and fun to watch visitors to the food I put out. They are only in our area when it's cool and cold out, must not like the heat. Can't say as I blame them. 😸 I captured this one sitting in the tree resting between feeding. It was a really cold and windy day and the feathers were ruffled a lot.
Over the winter we have these birds as visitors. When it gets pretty warm out they head out, guessing they like colder weather and head north. Opposite of me. 😄 Anyway this is a Dark Eyed Junco that I actually captured at a park I was walking at one day last winter. It is sitting on the dried berries of a Sumac plant.
