Oh Junco, where art thou?

| No Comments

I am beginning to worry about the return of our favorite winter bird, the Junco.  The little dark gray with white breast bird is long overdue in our yard.  The latest sighting I recorded was November 14 in 2006 and the earliest was October 10 in 2005.  And when I was in Minnesota this fall in mid-October, they were already busily feeding on the ground at my folks.  Generally speaking, that would put the Juncos here in Indianapolis about two weeks later. 

I am really concerned and can only hope it is because of the mild autumn in the midwest that they haven't felt the need to push farther south.  Time will tell.
