    Great shots of the birds! Our finches seem to have departed, as have the humming birds.

    Your house finches are so sweet compared to our ordinary house sparrows. Love that blue jay.

    I had my first flock of juncoes yesterday but I'm not as enthusiastic as you. Around here they call them "snow birds" and there is a good reason for that! Your photos are beautiful.

    Hey! We get the same visitors. :) The junco is a rarity for me, though. I love the way yours is perched on that tiny stick. He owns that! lol Great series, Karen!

    Ptaki są śliczne, bardzo miło na nie patrzeć. Ostatni jest cudny. U nas takie nie fruwają :(

    Oh how cute..I read the Finch Forecast and I guess the nuts and seed crop was good this season so I won't see as many winter migrants as usual as they will have enough to eat.. Michelle
