Bird Watching: "flash of juncos"

Juncos often travel in small bands.

A gaggle, like geese? A bevy, like beauties?

No. They travel in flashes. When they fly off together you'll see a flash of white as they spread their tail feathers. Thus the name.

["A flash of juncos went west seconds ago.

This junco stayed for seconds"]

They also like to feed from the ground, so I spread a basic mix on a wooden bench under the feeder for them. They never fail to arrive early in the morning.
