Snowbirds: Juncos

The dark-eyed junco is often called a snowbird, and it does show up here in the winter.




I read that they like millet seeds, which is good because many other birds don't, and it's commonly included in birdseed mixes. 

These pictures are from a few days ago. Most of our snow melted today.

  6. I have not seen one yet. I have had puffed millet for breakfast. I didn't know birds ate it too.

  7. Darling birds, you captured them beautifully. Thanks for the info on the millet. I have noticed the difference in bird visitors with the different seeds.
