I Spotted My First Slate-Colored Junco In The Yard
Author: siggyI spotted my first slate-colored junco in the yard two days ago. I guess winter and snow is on its way. The bird’s flittering back white wings was unmistakable. It vanished into the undergrowth of the gigantic bush. I saw my second one today. Last night we got a smattering of snow. I have a friend who calls them “snow” birds so, maybe, the sighting was no accident. They are often found in flocks so as we get more snow I may see more. I never see them in the summer. It is a mystery to me where they go then.
