Dark Eyed Junco

 

In the Autumn, these birds are quite commonly found foraging on the ground along the river

 

 

There are several 'races' of these birds

 

 

Pleasant little birds!

 

 

Always on the move, they make a formidable subject to photograph

 

 

This was an exception... he posed for me!

 

 

A bird with a 'catchlight' in its eye

 

 

The use of a flash certainly works, but the result can look so artificial!

 

 

Sometimes when photographing we are lucky and have a natural reflection to fill the shadows

 

 

As with the Cedar Waxwings, we see these birds amongst the Russian Olive fruit
