The Yellow Streak
Look closely at a White-throated Sparrow and you’ll spot a brilliant dash of yellow right between the eye and the beak. This "supraloral" spot is the perfect pop of color against their crisp white bib and dapper head stripes! #sparrow #birds #birdwatching #wildlifephotography #birdfeeder

Social Dynamics
Social Dynamics Juncos are highly social and operate within a strict dominance hierarchy while wintering in flocks. You can often spot the "alpha" birds by their darker plumage and more aggressive behavior at the feeding site. 6 of 6 #birds #birdwatching #wildlifephotography #junco #birdfeeder

High-Altitude Architects
During the breeding season, these birds retreat to high-elevation coniferous forests to build their well-hidden ground nests. Their simple, metallic trill is the quintessential soundtrack to a summer hike in the mountains. 5 of 6 #birds #birdwatching #wildlifephotography #junco #birdfeeder

Ground-Feeding Etiquette
Unlike many backyard birds, Juncos prefer to forage on the ground rather than cling to hanging feeders. To attract a few buy spreading the feed around on the ground. They way they bounce around will make you smile. 2 of 6 #birds #birdwatching #wildlifephotography #junco #birdfeeder

The Winter Herald
The Dark-Eyed Junco is often called the "snowbird" because its arrival from the north usually signals the first frost. Watch for that signature flash of white outer tail feathers as they fly around your bird feeders. 1 of 6 #birds #birdwatching #wildlifephotography #junco #birdfeeder
