Very Few Junco's this year

I am seeing the usual amount of Juncoes - a small flock that inhabits my yard and the thickets across the street. Probably about a dozen of them. As for numbers of other birds, there have been hardly any House Sparrows this year (yeah!), a few more Starlings than usual eating the raw suet and pooping out bittersweet berries (not good), ZERO Blue jays, which has me worried, and about a dozen eastern Bluebirds, maybe more! Yipppeeee! I guess it varies from year to year.

I'm in Massachusetts and the Junco's have been in my yard since the second week of October, which is a bit early. They usually don't show up until November. The other day, I counted over 20 of them on the ground picking up seeds that either fell out of the birdfeeder or I scattered around. They'll be around now until the middle or end of April. Funny, there are usually some white throated Sparrows that accompany them but I haven't seen any yet. My feeders are loaded with Tufted Tit Mice, one of my favorites, along with Chickadees. Linda

Last year I had this bird come to visit. I looked it up in my book andI thought it was a Black Crowned Night Heron. I was later told it looked more like a Green Heron. There are pics of both in my book and I though that the Green Heron had a different shaped head and lighter color. I would like to hear your opinion. Here's the pics. In the forst one he was right outside the kitchen window. In this one he? is standing on the window sill. Thanks for any help. Marg

It sure does look like the one you have Konrad. I am used to seeing only the Slate colored ones. But checking out Juncos I see that there are many color variations. Nice pictures.I have had Juncos around all winter. ( slate colored) so was surprised to see these.
