I knew from researching them that they are migratory, and they most certainly showed up out of nowhere back in October.
The cute little fuzzbuckets had become a real favorite of mine over the winter and I realized this weekend that I hadn’t seen one in a few days. We’re still hip deep in finches (half of them almost as red as cardinals as they try to impress the ladies), the mockingbirds have become more numerous, and the wrens that I like so much have started being so noisy right outside the bedroom that they’re waking me up as they celebrate the freakin’ DAWN at about 05:00 every freakin’ morning. But no Juncos.
“Our” flock should be well fed and fat for their commute to Canada. They didn’t miss any meals in our back yard. So that’s a good thing.
I just hope that they’ll remember where we are come October again.

It’s quite fun to keep a record of these arrival and departure dates for migratory birds. At least you can check back through you blog!
