Juncos

Visiting my window recently are these sweet white-bellied Juncos. He has a black coat and hers is a little charcoal gray. I read that they will build their nests anywhere from tall grasses to treetops.

Weather has been sub-zero lately, making me want to snuggle with a cushy little bear. Oh, and they always love you back.

By Any Other Name
