Snow Birds

Juncos are fairly common birds in our area. We rarely see them, however, because our feeders are mounted overhanging a second-level deck. When I was a child, we called them "snow birds" because we often seemed to see them during snow storms.

We have no snow, but I did spot a Junco in the trees the other day.

He flew down to the deck, but failing to find anything interesting, he quickly flew away.

The visit may have been short, but I enjoyed it immensely.
