A sign of fall fading away and winter sliding in :
The Junco’s are back !
This little guy was checking out the seed in the flat feeder , it was dusk ,just before the sun rise and I saw this little guy as I had to do a double take as I wasn’t to sure but as I got closer it was confirmed it is a Junco for what ever reason I said to myself YEAH !! another one of our winter birds are back , well despite the weather they are here for I like them anyways lol they are the last ones to arrive .
They are pretty skittish till they get used to the area again but soon warm up to me with my camera , Miggs running a muck of the yard and all the food that is out for them .
As the sun was rising I heard behind me a flock of Canadian geese honking as they flew over head .
It was so quiet by the time they were over my head I could hear the air whooshing through their wings as they flew . Miggs and I went for our morning walk , it was a little frosty but lovely with the sun shining and the crispness of the air was wonderfully refreshing . I really need to take my camera with me though as there were 6 White breasted nuthatch in a tree all playing and making that distinct sound of theirs ! I need to rig up away to walk Miggs and take photos , one handed photography doesn’t always work lol . The birds are all so very active now as they look for places to eat and snooze and make home for the cooler weather . I cant believe we are at the end of October already and this weekend we here in Ontario change our clocks back one hour so a bit lighter earlier in the mornings but darker earlier in the evenings YUK !! oh well it is what it is lol !
Until next time
Wishing you all a safe and

Loved to hear the Canadian Geese when we lived in Illinois. Good pictures of them, despite one-handed photography.
ReplyDeleteThe juncos are such cute birds.
ReplyDeleteThe geese I hear overhead here now are the ones still coming from further north and stopping for a break. The ones who are here in the summer have been gone now for some weeks.
The juncos are here, eating up a storm!
ReplyDeleteIt seems that autumn is progressing very quickly..clocks back and snow on Saturday.
I apologise for saying the bad 's' word.

Love those flight shots of the geese.
ReplyDeleteOur Junko's are playing hide and seek with me. Some days I see them under the feeders, and now for the last few days they have disappeared. With snow in the forecast I'm sure they will appear again!! Happy Halloween.
ReplyDeleteLovely photos, especially the geese!! Fall has gotten into full swing for us too, but none of the winter birds yet--Soon, I've no doubt. I did finally turn the heat on for the first time tonight, it's supposed to get near freezing--burr!!
ReplyDeleteSweet little birds those Juncos, glad to see they have returned to your feeders.
ReplyDeleteI love hearing the honking geese overhead !
Turning our clocks back too this Saturday, it's still dark at 6:30 every morning when some of the kids are boarding the school buses.
Lovely header, so Autumn !

I'm definitely not thrilled about switching the clocks back either. Very nice shots of the geese and juncos!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos! There are a lot of Juncos around here this week too. They move fast! Enjoy the weekend.
