Juncos are Back

We haven't seen these little birds for months. All summer we've had finches and sparrows, chickadees and crows, cardinals and blue jays, but the juncos were not to be seen. Now here they are, stocking up at the feeders for the cool weather.

At lunch, yesterday alone, we saw:

juncos (4)


blue jays (2)
(no photos today)


finches (5)


mourning doves (2)


crows (3)
(no photos today)


cardinal (female, 1)
(here she is flying off the fence - she was too quick for me!)





I hope there will be some who stick around for the winter. They give us something special to watch at mealtimes.

Oh yes, of course there were squirrels, too.
