Thanks again all for your kind comments!

Marise, if I had to pick out a favorite garden bird this one would be it. They are such fun to observe going about their little birdie lives. I can always tell when the flock is coming in because of their distinctive voices. First one will show up then a couple more and then the next thing there is a flock of twenty or more. I'm always so happy when the Juncos show up in the fall.
