Since I had my camera out, and the Northern Juncos have been at my feeder since I filled it yesterday afternoon, I thought I'd take advantage of the opportunity and get some pictures.
They aren't the best pictures; I was shooting through either the screen door or my dirty glass. There are about five or six that have been at the feeder all weekend. Finally, today, some other birds (mostly sparrows) discovered I had put seed in the feeder and came to get their fill.
On this mound where I had piled some snow on my balcony, the Juncos would use their feet to kick some of the snow away to look for more seed.
I just love Juncos. They're so cute with their charcoal grey top half and white belly. And they're only here in winter. Such a nice contrast against the white snow.
When I was sweeping the snow, I noticed there was some dropped seed that had been buried underneath the snow, which was then mixed into this pile.
Somehow, the Juncos knew there was seed down in there, and were kicking it away with their feet to get at it. And yes, Iggy, that's my ORBA in the pictures...inside, safe and sound from Charlie.

How sweet. I bet they were all happy to have full bellies. :-)
ReplyDeleteLook at all that snow! Those birdies are very lucky to have you.
ReplyDeleteSuch pretty birdies!
ReplyDeleteThat ORBA is lucky to have you too - kept inside where its nice and warm and it can even reach the TV remote - just about.
ReplyDeleteThe Junco is a sharp looking bird. And its smart too if its kicking the snow around.
:) I hope you don't get a whole lot more snow this week -
I had a whole yard full of those little birds the other day before it snowed. I didn't know what kind of bird they were, but they seemed happy pecking away in my yard.
