chumpalumpa Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 sorry not so sharp--was taken through my window---these congregate in large groups I believe in my yard rooting around in the grass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bird Brain Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 Dark-eyed Junco. The dark eyes and pinkish bill are good ID marks. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Spencer Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 They're a species of sparrow, by the way, not finches. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chumpalumpa Posted March 29, 2019 Author Share Posted March 29, 2019 I just read that they are one of the most common birds of North America and it took me this long (2 years since I started taking pictures of birds) to learn about them!

Here in Georgia we are in their winter range, but I rarely see them. I think I saw two this winter and felt lucky to see them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you hear some of us Southerners referring to 'snowbirds', Dark-Eyed Juncos are usually what we're talking about. Unlike HamRHead, I had three or four scratching under my feeders for most of the season. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
