Birds in the Sun! Yay!

I walked my morning route in the opposite direction and welcomed the sun in the latter half of the walk! Seed had been placed on some stumps and birds were actively feeding as I approached. A White-throated Sparrow, who has been hanging around for a few months, was one of the first visitors!

An American Tree Sparrow with his two-toned beak was a happy customer!

Dark-eyed Juncos are the "snowbirds" of the middle latitudes. Over most of eastern U.S. and Canada, they appear as winter sets in, and then retreat northward each spring.
