Phriday Photo – It’s Still Winter

by The Birdfreak Team on February 8, 2008

This Dark-eyed Junco seemed overwhelmed by the heavy snow. We received about a foot of snow and this winter season we are already well above average for total snowfall.
Little Junco in the Snow

To a man, ornithologists are tall, slender, and bearded so that they can stand motionless for hours, imitating kindly trees, as they watch for birds. -Gore Vidal

Poor little junco! (Poor people, too! Repeat after me; “Spring is coming, Spring is coming…” ;)

Tall and Slender? I wish! But I bird anyway. I guess the “Snow Bird” in the picture is living up to its name!

I don’t think I qualify as an onithologist-I am talland used to be slender.I’ll bet that junco is getting a little bit of protection from the wind because of the snow.
