Since Saturday, I've had a male Oregon Junco visiting my feeder in
Columbus, along with half a dozen or so Slate-colored Juncos. The group
also includes one very pale bird (photo below) with some obvious pigment
production problems. Quite a nice pair of birds to have in the yard!

Hopefully the Oregon sticks around through the weekend, so I can at least
count it as a count week bird for the Columbus CBC this Sunday.

More Oregon Junco were taken today, and will appear on my Flickr page (

Good birding,
