I chose the dark-eyed junco,mainly because I have a recent picture of them fueling up at the feeders to fly away till next winter.
I did not know that this bird is a relative of the sparrow,nor did I realize that they love hogging up the thistle seeds,hanging off the socks of thistle,chasing the finches away.I can hardly afford to feed them all,thistle seed is quite expensive.
Go to the springman`s blog to see all the beautiful birds from around the world, add your backyard birds too!http://worldbirdwednesday.blogspot.com/

That`s ok,you`re keeping me on my toes!phyllis
Juncos are always fun, flittering around and attacking and then leaving. Love them.
I never knew Juncos would visit a finch sock!!!
I do not know very much about birds, they are very diffucult to shoot - but I will visit your blogs to learn something more. It seems like you, over the ocean, have many coloured birds - here they are more or less grey, but small heros, surviving our severe winter that last nearly half a year!
Do not think I ever saw a janco. Great!
Tanks for your comments and a nice easter to you.
That's a beautiful fellow, I love how you caught him there.
And precious, beautiful blossoms too!
Cute shot! I am still seeing a few Juncos. Usually they leave in the spring since they are my winter snow birds. I have never seen them at the thistle though.
He looks like he's peeking around just to get his picture taken!
Cute little Junco! I love to see them arrive in late fall. but I'm happy to seen them leave in spring - then I know that spring has really arrived! Lovely spring flowers!
Juncos are one of my favorites.. Cute photo:) Thanks for sharing!
Your Junco is a cute bird and I love your images.

Nice shot of the Dark-eyed Junco at the thistle feeder Phyllis!
