Bob’s Backyard Birds

Here are more Juncos. I always enjoy

having them around as winter guests.

The males are boldly slate colored with white bellies. There is significant variation in the darkness of the gray (or “grey” as is the more common spelling in England), with some of them

appearing very nearly black, particularly when

they are seen against the background of snow.

The females are more softly colored, with tinges of brown, like the one just below.
