January Juncos

The bird population of Casa Willett is doing its usual bird things. The house finches are starting to hunt for nesting real estate. The ravens cackle in the trees. The hawks soar. The hummingbirds feed incessantly. The mourning doves act like a freaking biker gang, chasing off the squirrels and the other birds when the morning feeding comes. And the juncos returned a couple of months ago, as they seem to every year.

There are at least five of them in this picture from this morning. They blend in well with the muddy background and there were at least a dozen flitting about, so others might be eluding me.

We have the pair that seem to be here all year around, but in the winter the whole flock shows up. They are cute as all get out.
