Blonde junco

We get snowbirds every day at our feeder. (These days, it seems

everyone calls them juncos.) This time of year I don't think there is

ever a time when there isn't at least one there, and usually there are

a dozen or two. They normally vary a little in colour from the

slate-grey that one of the names of the bird indicates, through to a

dark brown-grey. But until today, I never saw one that was this fair.



This is a tiny crop of a picture shot through three panes of dirty

glass. It's not the brightest or sharpest picture. Maybe tomorrow

I'll get a better one.
