Dark-Eyed Junco -Oregon (Male)-9987
This was the most elusive of the juncos. I tried the whole day to capture this beautiful male in better light, this was the closest shot I could get and in total shade, and not that sharp. I saw my first male oregon in Jasper but did not have my camera with me. I did not realize this sub-species travelled this far north so imagine my surprise when it was sighted with all the colourful juncos here today. Many birds have come to visit me this summer/fall and I am very grateful.
The juncos were chased by the squirrel, grackles, jays, and white-throated sparrows. They really had to work for any food they got.
Thank you for views, comments and faves.
