As spring slowly makes it’s way into our area we have had an influx of Dark-eyed Juncos in the neighborhood. First we noticed a few foraging for seed on the ground and within a week or so that two became ten or more at a time. When not foraging the males have begun to sing their musical trill while perched in the trees nearby. A wonderful spring chorus to liven days now spent at home.
Ahhhh, the bird I miss. I have heard of a few around the Lowcountry but this way off their path.
HI Ted, they are one of our favorites as well. Beautiful and subtle coloring and we are lucky to have a couple of different sub-species inhabit the area to add even more variety. Hop your doing great.
All is well, same back to you. We are lucky to have thousands of acres of empty marsh to visit…until the cattle gates on the dirt roads are locked.
A bright-eyed delight! I hope you’re well there.
HI Adam, we are indeed doing well. Keeping quiet and hanging low so to speak. Hope you have a great week and are keeping healthy as well.
Adorable 😍
Hi, yes they are beautiful birds and add some nice color to a landscape that has yet to green up this spring. Hope your doing well and keeping healthy.
Thanks so much for the link to the “musical trill!”
Your welcome, it is a nice little song especially when a single song becomes a chorus. Hope your doing well and keeping healthy.
So far!
They are so sweet looking. In the midwest they are believed to bring snow.
