I found this little guy outside in my backyard today. He was so friendly and just kind of hung around while I was watering stuff – so I went inside and grabbed the camera, came back out and he was still there – he wants to say hi:

Find more of my backyard friends after the jump….

Thank you for giving us the bird… :-w
More than ONE bird – aren’t you lucky? :-j
Not sure if you know the song: Majesty, Snowbird by Sufjan Stevens about the dark-eyed junco. Somehow your post reminded my of this lovely song.
Hi Charles – I don’t know the song.. but your comment prompted me to look it up. Thanks!
Some very good pictures seems you live in a really nice part of the country most people would go through their entire life and never see birds like these
Those are some seriously nice photos-Is that downy eating nyjer?
