Just saw a late male Junco at the ground seed.  The regular crew seemed to leave last Tuesday night (4-19).  Hadn't seen or heard any since then.  This was a lone bird that looked a bit rumpled.  His feathers looked almost lopsided.  Checked his feet and legs with the binoculars - they looked fine.  He was alert and eating well, didn't stay long.  Hope he will continue with a successful migration.

Have any of you seen any Juncos lately?

Two female Downies were just competing for supremacy over the suet.  They were displaying with fanned wing and tail feathers.
