Greetings! As everyone is looking towards the skies for cranes and the like, my eyes have been looking towards my feeder. Juncos had been reported at other feeders around the state, and I was beginning to wonder if I would ever see a Junco before the end of the year. :-) All that I have had were house sparrows :-(. This morning as I was leaving to go to church I heard the ear piercing chatters (Of which I am sure that car alarms and Bergler alarms were modeled after...:-D) of Juncos in my back yard. There right in front of me were two Juncos making their way to my feeder. It is now official, Winter has begun! Merry Christmas!: http://i153.photobucket.com/albums/s226/sjlarue/OOSociety/Birdhsts_3.jpg Steve (a.k.a. sjlarue) ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
