A Junco For All Seasons


Day 2: Dark-eyed Juncoes are year-'round habitués of my feeders, but although they are common, their delicate beauty is one my lens cannot resist. In today's cold wind, this fellow was sticking close to the shelter of the contorted filbert (aka "Harry Lauder's Walking Stick"). It is a favored perch for birds at any time of year, its tangled and twisted branches providing a perfect maze through which no predator can pass with any haste.
