Dark-eyed Junco Gray-headed form
New Mexico

Juncos are such cute birds. And they sit still longer than Chickadees and Nuthatches do! The white streaks are snow.

Ooh! The snowflakes make it just a little more special.

Gorgeous shot, Cindy. The detail is exquisite. Maybe a bit less flash, maybe not.

Excellent bird, very nice pose and composition. Maybe tone the breast down a little.

Beautifully done, Cindy! :roll:
Would suggest shaving off from top eliminating the branch altogether ...

Nice Cindy! Where was this? Funny, I have a very similar shot - right down to the snow - here on Long Island in NY.

Colorings are quite different, though. How different are colorings within one species? I'm kinda new at this :wink:

This was in New Mexico, Sandia Crest. Dark-eyed Junco has 6 different sub-species that have different plumage variations. You probably get Slate Colored, this is Gray-headed. Not typical, but not unusual either, to have different forms or sub-species within one species.

Beautiful Cindy! The evergreen setting and snowflakes add a very nice wintery feel. :)
