This is a beautiful shot of the junco Donny.

They are very scarce around here this year. I've got a few but nothing like previous years.
 
What a lovely Junco shot Donny! Well done. (Santa brought me a new camo cover for my 500 F4 lens and a GPS so I can easily find my way to good birding locations. Cool!)
 
Nice Shot.
They come to my feeders in the winter. I live in CO, they stay up in the mountains the rest of the year. Kind of a timid bird,finches,jays, doves, and even sparrows easily flush them away from my feeders. I keep some feed on the ground for them, they seem to like that, curiously the feed next to squirrels just fine
