The lower
temperatures of November bring a change to the bird population around the
backyard feeder. Small gray sparrows called Dark-eyed Juncos migrate from the north
to enjoy our relatively mild winter. This is why they’ve earned the nickname “snowbirds.”
People that spend the winter in Florida or warmer climates are also known as
snowbirds.
Dark-eyed Juncos are
beautiful gray birds. The gray color varies from light shades to a dark shade
called “slate.” Their belly is white and a flash of white
tail feathers can be seen in flight.
They forage
on the ground looking for seeds.
