Dark-eyed Junco
Originally uploaded by sandy130
Feisty little birds with black caps have been visiting our backyard this winter. With a little research, I discovered that they are Dark-Eyed Juncos. They flock to the seeds we put out on cold days, and it's fun to watch as they jostle for eating space. Our cats like to watch them too -- but we try to make sure it's from behind the closed window!
Here's a link with more about the Dark-Eyed Junco. There's even a sound sample:
