Dark-eyed Junco

The Dark-eyed Junco is a bird that, at first glance, seems kind of normal and maybe even boring. But the more I watch them, the more I like them. Their top half is a dark gray, almost black, and their bottoms are white. They're a cute little bird with light colored beaks. They have been coming to my yard in flocks lately, alongside the Mourning Doves and sparrows, pecking for seeds, or maybe insects, on the ground. The lighter colored, almost brown ones, are the females. Remember you can click on the pictures to see them bigger if you want.








Happy Birding!
