Migrating junco (pic included)

[Steve Foss]

We got a ton of dark-eyed-juncos in the yard starting Friday, bad cold weather or not, and here's one that landed on the lattice mounted on one of my raised garden beds

Nice image Steve!.I noticed alot of juncos the last few days myself...even saw a few robins in the melted,brown grassy patches from this past snow scrounging for a meal....ahhh!...maybe spring will finally make it to the northland!

Nice shot Steve. It is really strange that it took so long for them to get to you because they have been aroung Carlton for at least 2 weeks now.

Well, we've had a couple juncos hanging around for the last three weeks. It was just Friday when they all gathered here like crazy, and we have almost 50 hopping around in the snow and bare ground patches.

Well, uh, maybe the word got around when I spread cracked corn all over for the migrating sparrows and juncos on Thursday afternoon.

I have 3 feeders out and they love all of them. It drives our cats nuts when the flock comes in
