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.
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.
