Dark-eyed Juncos
Loving it while they're still here. They'll head up north soon.

Alan's @alan678.bsky.social #BirdOfTheDay theme today is #FeederFriends birds you might see at your feeder. They do not have to be on a feeder
I've gone with this #DarkEyedJunco enjoying a "bath" in my flooded backyard.

My little backyard Junco buddy had a friend today... and there was a little 2-Junco party going on in the wildlife gardens all day.

Spot the... Dark-eyed Junco
Difficulty: medium (I was using f1.8 in the first photo... so look at that little sliver of focal plane that's in focus)

A bevy of birds: male #DarkEyedJunco, male and female #NorthernCardinal, and a #RedBreastedNuthatch. These friends all helped me get through a cool winter!

Here's my solo Junco friend on the ground hanging out with the hoard of House Sparrows...

There seemed to just one Dark-eyed junco coming around today... but it was here all day.

You know what they say: The early bird gets its head stomped.
A female slate-backed #DarkEyedJunco. Males are often more uniformly dark grey while females have a bit of warmer buff to their head, back, and sides.

Today's Dark-eyed Junco photos.
There weren't as many around today. Perhaps some have left to head up north.

Rob's @robcrank68.bsky.social #BirdOfTheDay theme is #BlackHeads, any bird with Black on its head, the Alt Theme is #Grey, birds with Grey Feathers on them.
I've chosen this #DarkEyedJunco kicking snow, that I shot yesterday. Yeah, yesterday, with fresh snow ❄️😡 That should be it though. #birds #ECK

They grow up so fast. One day they’re little scraggly aliens that can barely lift their heads and the next they’re rubbery-necked bird monsters with bulbous eyes.

Love the scraggly mohawks.
The Dark-eyed Juncos are a little more active when I'm not in the back yard. I took this photo from just outside the back gate.

A small grey bird with a white belly. Feathers in the wings show a small amount of brown. The distinctive eyeliner look of the dark eyed junco is prominent. Short white beak. The bird stands on concrete in front of some mulch. Birdseed hulls are everywhere.
Here i believe is a slate variation of the dark eyed junco.

This Dark-eyed Junco flew up onto a fence a couple of doors down. Then flew closer into the back yard Birch trees to continue his cleaning.

A handsome gray and white bird is perched on a branch, with snow-covered conifers in the background. The upper parts are charcoal gray. The belly is snow white. The bird has dark eyes, a small, pale bill, and a very long tail. This is a Dark-eyed Junco, part of the sparrow family. This species has been nicknamed a "snowbird" due to its presence in the U.S. during winter. This bird mostly feeds on the ground, which doesn’t always make for a nice background, so I was lucky to get him on a tree.
For the #BirdOfTheDay theme #BestOfTheMonth, here's a Dark-eyed Junco, fluffed up on a snowy morning. wildadirondacks.org/adirondack-w...

The juncos never eat at the feeder, only ever below. Still cute though. ♥︎

A quiet presence settles into open stillness.
Dark feathers rest with calm along the branch.
Soft air gathers around this small moment.
Nature carries a gentle lift through the hush.

Small bird standing on a piece of wood that has some yellowish pasty food stuck on it. The bird, in profile facing to the left, is dark gray on the head and neck. The wings and tail are lighter gray, and the underside is white. The beak is short and pinkish orange. The eye is small and black. The bird's beak is open and it has some of the food sitting on its tongue. The wood is sitting on a small plastic table, and there is the edge of a wooden feeder behind it on the left. The background is blurry grass with some shadows.
Dark-eyed junco eating some of my homemade bark butter. The juncos will be migrating north soon.

A bit of the non-stop Dark-eyed junco activity seen through my very dirty kitchen windows today.
I took a whole bunch of Goldenrod from the front yard and spread it around the back. They really seemed to like that.

A #WhiteCrownedSparrow in focus with a #DarkEyedJunco just out of focus. Fun backyard bird pairing!
