My "Snowbirds" have gone north: I have two species of birds that always show up in late fall and depart in early spring. Both give me a substitute for those other species that go south...

I have two species of birds that always show up in late fall and depart in early spring. Both give me a substitute for those other species that go south from here in the winter.
Mine have departed over the last week, or so...I'll miss them!

Beautiful shots of your little snowbirds, Bob. I'm already missing our White-throated sparrows and their unique and beautiful songs, but we never have but a junco or two and used to have flocks of them.

Very nice set Bob. Juncos are a primary visitor to my winter back yard and mine have departed as well. I too miss them. It is interesting how we mark the seasons. These are well done, thanks for posting.
