Winter Junco

Junco hyemalis
The junco is a genus of small sparrow. I believe this is a slate colored junco, a sub-species of the dark-eyed junco. (I looked it up.) We enjoy watching these round little birds as they hop around looking for food.

    What a gorgeous photo! I love the way it's looking over its shoulder back at you. Aren't little birds just precious?
