Yesterday’s snow brought many birds to our bird feeder. At one point I counted more than 20 juncos perched on it and on the nearby magnolia branches. However, as usual, the cardinals stole the show with their brilliant colors.

Of course they are brilliant – how not ? But I know from previous shots just how beautiful are the feathers of the very ordinary starling. So the juncos probably have a lot going for them too ! 😀

You are right of course. Those Juncos do look cute, are everywhere and never cease to fight among themselves.

Like so many bird species … I s’pose it’s a history of there not being enough to go ’round that keeps ’em fighting even when your feeder is there …

I don’t like the snow but it does make a wonderful contrast.

New snow does provide good contrast. However, especially in cities, after a while it gets dirty and messy when it keeps coming down. You know that already, Sue, as I imagine Calgary gets a lot more snow than we do in New Jersey.

It just stayed overnight and now is melting fast. Spring is finally coming, maybe. Thanks Amy!
