Decided to share a bird I have never seen today as I continue with me Birds of the Alphabet series.
Not my photo, as I have not had the chance to see these birds.
JUNCO
There are many types of Junco birds. The dark-eyed always gets my attention when I watch documentaries. And I think Georgi has shared this bird with us on Virily.
Dark-eyed juncos are unique sparrows that nest on or near the ground in forests. In winter, they typically form flocks and often associate with other species, including chipping sparrows, and palm warblers (in the southeastern United States.), and bluebirds. When disturbed the entire flock suddenly flies up to a tree, usually perching in the open and calling in aggravation at the intrusion.
I see a lot of the chipping sparrows, and maybe these come through during their winter migration unnoticed. I will keep my eye out for these since I now know they are common in my world.

i have seen these, not in my current world, but in travels and zoos!
I have seen these at a zoo as well. That will be nice to do again one day.
zoos will open again!! Not this month, or next but soon
I know they will. Slowly.
that is probably the best and safest thing
A beautiful bird. I also see her for the first time. We do not have them in our country.
I love these birds, glad you are enjoying my posts, your support means a lot to me.
