Things here are about the same as they usually are each winter. In fact there seem to be even more juncos around than I remember. The only species not here in the yard each day are white-crowned sparrows. I've had them every year for longer than I can remember but I'm not currently seeing any in spite of the cold and all the millet on the ground. What I do have, though. are 5-10 purple finches daily. Yesterday two I hadn't previously seen showed up. They were obviously purple finches but they were darker and the white lines below their eyes were more tan than white. A sharpie is in the yard or fields daily and every so often a harrier flies through, as do snow geese. The only unusual thing I've been seeing, or at least it's a bit unusual to me, is a tree sparrow in the front yard that keeps going to a suet. cake. It also spends a lot of time in a hanging feeder but not on the ground. Obviously this isn't too strange but it breaks the monotony of looking at a few hundred juncos. j
