One of My Favorite Songbirds~

Of the many songbirds that visit our home, the Dark-eyed Juncos are some of my favorite little visitors. Their piercing dark eyes, they sweet way they look when all huddled down in feathers for warmth their lovely colour variations, their sweet appeal, all make them stunning little chaps~

    I've never seen the dark-eyed junco with my own eyes but have discovered it on the web... A beautiful species which seems to be not so easy to take picture of because of the contrasting feather pattern. but you did it well and I especially love the last one!

    Are you getting snow now Mary? The lovely little Junco with all that grey and black plumagesure stands out in the whiteness. Have a great weekend.

    One of my favourites songbirds, too.
    That last shot is so cute, with his white belly that looks like he was drifting in the snow!
