Thanks, James. I liked the branches too, but it was difficult to get tripod/camera set just right so the branch was not blocking the birds head. This is a tough hobby :-)

Dark-eyed Junco Portrait

Posted By Cal Sandfort

Nice shot! It shows a lot of detail.

I can't get your second shot to load. Is it on my end?

I'm starting to put out seed blocks in a lot of different locations which attracts more birds. I now have a lot of Juncos and the range of colors is remarkable. They vary from only black and white to the buffy salmon color of your photo. I could spend a lot of time photographing various Junco plumages.

Nice shot, Brian! I agree with Tyler, it looks like a White-crowned Sparrow.

Nice shot, Ron. They better hurry, it is not too long before they have to start molting them back in :-)

Nice, sharp shot, Robert. It looks like the window didn't interfere.

Looks better here. Did it look dark on your screen?
