Dark Eyed Junco, Bird of Inspiration...

For those of you wondering what a Dark Eyed Junco looks like...

Here is a picture I took yesterday of a male in our back yard:

They are here in this part of Northern Delaware (mid-atlantic US region) only over the colder months...

The males have dark slate gray/black feathers on top...
The females have dark brown feathers on top...

Good thing we filled up the feeders and have some extra seed to throw out to them from the sliding door. We already have 24"+ of snow on the ground from this last weekend, and are expecting up to another 24" overnight tonight into tomorrow around midnight...

Hello Snowy Winter - where have you been since 1993?
