JUNCOS IN THE COURTYARD
What a treat to listen to these little guys while I was on holidays in Halifax. I have wanted some nice images of these little birds and I think I was rather successful! They were not impressed with me however, I think I invaded their courtyard, pretty sure there were some sweetly song swear words. LoL!!
Dark-eyed Junco - Junco hyemalis
In winter over much of the continent, flocks of Juncos can be found around woodland edges and suburban yards, feeding on the ground, making ticking calls as they fly up into the bushes. East of the plains the Juncos are all gray and white, but in the West they come in various color patterns, with reddish-brown on the back or sides or both; some of these were once regarded as different species. The forms have separate ranges in summer, but in winter several types may occur in the same flock in parts of the West.
