The Dark Eyed Junco
The Dark Eyed Junco, a pretty little bird that is part of the sparrow family. All these years I thought this bird was called a Rufous. I looked it up today and it doesn’t look anything like a Rufous. I don’t know where I came up with that one. The internet told me, I will blame it on that. There are over 35 species of sparrows also.
They are seed eating birds and prefer eating from the ground, they scratch the ground like chickens do. I have so many around here this year. They are a cheery little bird to me.
Grrrrr, I love it when they look like they are giving me the stink eye. 😒
