FOS Junco
For those who aren't familiar with birder lingo, FOS stands for First of Season, used to refer to the first bird spotted during fall migration (they since we had them in the spring, they are not First of Year). This early bird turned up in our yard yesterday-- a pretty typical timing based on my notes. They will be coming through in increasing numbers for another few weeks until we reach our usual daily group of 5-10 birds. These personalities are a bright spot in our otherwise typically-gray winter.
