Dark Eyed Junco

nice shot of this guy - hope we've seen the last of them this year!

A perfect 7...  Mike

Thank you, all!  I've been anxiously awaiting these cute little guys and yesterday a whole flock appeared.  Sat under a balsam for awhile in the snow and was lucky to catch this one on a snow "perch".

Regards!

Another sweet little bird Richard. Your patience has paid off. I don't know if I have seen one before. Perhaps I have and thought is was a different bird. Very nice detail captured. I have been enjoying these images so much.

Thank you, Gail!  There is a whole flock of them here now, but it is still snowing and cold.  Wondering if spring will ever arrive:-)

Awesome capture of a beautiful little bird.  Nice one!

Thank you, Bachir!

Very good catch Richard! Dark bird are inherently difficult to shoot but you got him so well with this shot that show very good details with a sparkle eye in very well presented snw as well. TFS!

Tm J, thank you!  This one was handheld and it makes a big difference, but you  have to look closely to see it.  You know.

Anyway...this was a lucky break.  I sat on the ground under a balsam tree with the camera balanced on my knees.

Fun though!
