Description
Original Fine Art Photography by Donna Kennedy..
Photographed in my backyard in December, Reno, Nevada
The Dark-eyed Junco (Junco hyemalis) is a medium-sized sparrow with a rounded head, a short, stout bill and a fairly long, conspicuous tail. In winter over much of the continent, flocks of Juncos can be found around woodland edges and suburban yards, feeding on the ground, making ticking calls as they fly up into the bushes. East of the plains the Juncos are all gray and white, but in the West they come in various color patterns, with reddish-brown on the back or sides or both; some of these were once regarded as different species. The forms have separate ranges in summer, but in winter several types may occur in the same flock in parts of the West.

Very nice capture, Donna! and the colors are so appealing and soft, the textures show up - up close- and indistinct in the distance. L/f
