This little junco was posing pretty on the snow even as the actual air temperature felt terrible at -5 F (-20) today.

This little junco is all smiles since the snow that was forecast here today completely disappeared! My wish to Santa for a brown Christmas looks likely to come true!

A male Dark-eyed Junco, Oregon race, sat briefly in a tree that still had colourful leaves at the end of our street in Sidney, BC. It was gleaning some seeds that still remained within the fluffy 'seed-heads'.

It was a decent day for December at Lake Meyer Park today with seasonal temperatures at the freezing point and sunny skies, so this junco was in a jolly mood!

This was one of quite a few juncos snacking on this plant in the neighbor's yard.

I spotted a pair of juncos flying up from the brush, fluttering around each other, then landing in a tree near me. Got a few shots of the male before they drifted off together.

This little junco doesn't look bothered at all as it snuggles down on a cold blanket of fresh new snow.

One of the so-frequent Oregon juncos was perched rather than in the usual underbrush.

It's always a bittersweet day when the "snowbirds" arrive for another winter season since these charming dark-eyed juncos signal the end of reliable warm autumn weather and let us know that cold and snow will soon be on the way.

After hearing the weather forecast for this coming week, juncos and their bird kin are bracing for some bitter cold temperatures as an arctic air mass moves in.

Je termine cette série automnale avec un jolie Junco!

Merci de prendre le temps de regarder et d'apprécier mes photos!

I will end this fall series with a nice Junco!

Thank you for taking the time to look and appreciate my pictures!

This little dark-eyed junco, otherwise known as a snowbird, is certainly thrilled with the weather we are having right now since the snow started falling today at dawn and is forecast to fall continuously until Friday night.

This little dark-eyed junco looks like it has a snowflake on its head but that's just an odd white feather. With lots of luck this friendly junco won't see a real snowflake land on its head all winter.

Dark-eyed juncos are fast disappearing around here now in early April. Last week there were hundreds in the woods and today I had to hunt to find one. This may be the last junco I see until November as they move way north in Canada to nest.

This colorful little dark-eyed junco looks to be a long-distance visitor from the western states as it sports the dark head hood, pretty pink sides and warm brown back found on Oregon-form juncos.

Dark-eyed juncos are starting to disappear around here. We'll soon be saying "So long" to the last juncos as they leave for central Canada.

We had another snowy day here in Winneshiek County and birds were sticking tight to sheltering cover. This rare-for-here Oregon form dark-eyed junco still seemed to manage a little smile through it all.

Grand merci pour votre visite, vos commentaires et vos favoris. Je les apprécie sincèrement.

   

Many thanks for your visit, your comments and favorites, I appreciate them deeply!

 

Dark-eyed juncos have historically all departed from Winneshiek County by April 20th for points north. This procrastinator is pushing that late date to the limit.

DARK-EYED(SLATE)JUNCO

This Oregon/dark-eyed junco was caught mid bite when I found him. Went back to his meal as I moved on.

This sheltering junco is wondering when today's snow will finally stop falling.

This dark-eyed junco was enjoying the late-day sunshine even if the winds were whipping to 50 mph!

This little dark-eyed junco looks nice and warm sitting out in the sunshine today but that is deceiving since the air temperature was only 5F/ -15C with a wind chill reading of -10F/-23C. Worst of all, these are the warmest temperatures will will see for at least a week!

This tough little dark-eyed junco seems to be saying "bring it on" to today's bitter cold and snow. Juncos don't mind the snow at all and in fact seem to relish it - arriving from the arctic when the snows start to pile up in late autumn and heading back home to the polar region when the snow melts away in spring.

Dark-eyed junco numbers are building up here in northern Iowa now as birds that wintered farther south are filtering north and mixing in with our normal wintering junco flocks. Most juncos will be moving north of Iowa by the end of March.

"What in the world are you doing down there, Larry?"

I don't know if this is the same daydreaming junco I photographed yesterday, but if it's like me it is thinking here about taking off for Tahiti where the temperature is a whole lot warmer.

This cheerful little junco was very glad to greet the new year here at Lake Meyer Park today even if it did have to contend with some light snow.
