Dark-eyed Junco

















This bird is a winter visitor to all 50 states. They are ground feeders and will congregate under the feeder to eat the seeds discarded by other birds.

They are members of the sparrow family and are quite fun to watch forage through the leaves for food. I had never managed to attract them to my yard until this year, but if you live in wooded area, they are plentiful.
