Juncos Arrive!

I guess winter is nearly upon us. For me the first sign is the return of the junco's. True "snowbirds", they usually show up here in early November. They seem to be a little early this year - arriving before Halloween. I hope this isn't a sign of an early winter!

Even though they remind me of winter, I still always enjoy watching the junco's at the feeders and in the woods edge. Here are some facts on juncos from the Cornell Lab. I can always id them in flight by their white outer tail feathers. They look like little birds in tuxedos to me.
