~~~Black Eyed Junco~~~

Recently I watched the Black Eyed Junco come onto the deck .  He had the whole place to himself, so he was in heaven with all this food !!  The Junco will not eat the black oil seed ,they like those little round seeds in the mix!   I watched him eat by rolling the seeds around in his mouth to crack the shell, and he didn't move at all from this spot, just kept eat!!

Wow look at all the seeds!!

I'll just eat as much as I want !!




Oh ..I don't feel so great ..I must have ate to much !
Do I look bloated??

"Gag"!!
Pardon me, I thought I was going to lose 
it there !! : )

    A great post to accompany my breakfast.
    The little round seeds are Millet. He is one of the few birds I've seen eating them.

    Such a sweetheart! Feed him well so he'll be strong for his journey back north in a few months. I'm looking forward to seeing them again come spring!

    Grace, we get a lot of these little birds at our feeder and they congregate in the crepe myrtle trees waiting for refills.

    I love the little Juncos, they must be the ones eating the millet in my mix because the other birds don't seem to eat it. Great photos.

    i don't think the link i put in worked, besides, some folks don't like links in their comments so i deleted it.

    anyway, i really think you should start linking in to some of the bird memes. this really is too cute and made me laugh!

    First thing, I love your new header with this beautiful picture of the redpoll.

    This series is cute; I love watching juncos and you described these pictures very well and with a bit of humor that I like.

    Thank you for your nice comments on my blog, I always appreciate when you write to me.
    Have a wonderful Sunday!

    Very cute...and fluffy! They do like to just sit in one spot and stuff themselves. I've had a lot of them this winter and the colors seem more rich....really dark males and really brown females. I bought a new type of finch food recently and they seem to really like it. Their bills aren't designed to crack the sunflower seeds. Do you find that anything eats those red milo seeds? It seems to be such a waste.

    Nice pictures of Dark-eyed Junco, a bird I haven't seen yet. Don't know if it is observed here in Norway.

    I always love Dark-eyed juncos! We get so many varieties here in AZ but I do love the typical slate-colored subspecies the best! Cute pics! He does look a bit inflated though! LOL!
