Seed in beak a Dark Eyed Junco is a welcome visitor on a early spring day. Although quiet now in a week or two the shrubs along the road nearby will be filled with their calls. There is no stoping mother nature.

They’ve been present here in large numbers all winter. Soon they will leave. I will miss them.

HI Jim, the Juncos seem to appear here in mid march and will be around all summer. However, after nesting begins they are much more secretive and stay out of sight for the most part.

I’ve still had one dark-eyed junco at my feeders off and on this last week here in northeast Pennsylvania. I expect he’s off and away any day now.

Hi david and thanks for the feedback. Our Juncos arrived in Mid-March and will be around all summer. They seem to stay our of sight after nesting begins but a flash of white on the tail as they dart for cover lets us know they are around. Hope you have a great weekend.

Thanks! I’m packing the car and we’re heading to Cherry Springs in northcentral PA. A designated “dark sky” area. Too much light here in the NEPA valley to see the Milky Way, but it looks like we’ll have a nice opportunity tomorrow evening.

Hi David, hope your trip to a dark sky and the milky way was great. It is a shame we have to travel so far at times to find darkness ro quiet nonetheless we do.
