THIS LITTLE JUNCO WAS SITTING VERY QUIETLY…HOPING THAT I WOULDN’T NOTICE IT, I SUPPOSE.
YES…IT IS NOW WINTER AND THE BIRDS HAVE ADJUSTED QUITE NICELY. I’M ALWAYS AMAZED AT HOW WELL THEY ADAPT TO THE COLD…THOSE FEATHERS DO AN AMAZING JOB OF KEEPING THEM WARM.
I saw the first Juncos here the other day, They came with (bring) the snow. 🙂

Winter is a hard time for birds but in your garden they find always something to eat.

The wee birds require a lot of food with fats in it like fat balls, peanuts, fat cakes etc. I can get most of their food from the pound shop (dollar store) and it saves me a bit of money compared with the supermarkets.prices.

I feed a lot of peanuts and sunflower seeds!

Peanuts are expensive in the UK so we tend to give them small fat pellets in the bird feeders.

I wonder if those little feet get cold, with no feathers or even Uggs on them. 😕

I wonder too! Sometimes I see them lift one up and tuck it into it’s feathers…maybe I should start sewing little birdie booties!

I always wonder what winter birds eat when there is a foot of snow on the ground and all the seeds have dispersed off the plants. I feed them now and then, and they flock (!) to the feeders, then leave when the feeders are empty. Where do they go?? Somewhere, because they always come back.

I wonder the same thing…I do see them hopping around underneath bushes…they must find little bits of debris that they can eat.

Juncos stay here with us all winter, and they are very loyal birds. I put food on the ground for them because they prefer ground feeding. They seem to do well in the cold.

I’ve noticed that they prefer ground feeding. I love watching them kick the snow to find the food underneath.
