They're pretty cool characters. This one likes to get on the window feeder and kick all the seed out even if it's just hulled sunflower.

Shot I took in my backyard, on Vancouver island. This little Junco is a regular at the feeder.

Took this pic mid June. We had a siege in the forest across the road here on Vancouver Island.

They had a couple broods.. the noise..

Thanks! And heck yeah to Sundays. Any kind of weekly sharing thread would be pretty sweet.

 

Got this little guy on a weekend trip to Quadra Island, BC, a couple weeks ago.

Love this cheeky butt pic, but wish I'd gotten the eyes in focus!

Nice! Thanks for the info. This one had a nest in one of our hanging baskets. It was hidden well so I didn't get any good pics of the brood, unfortunately.

 

Took this pic back at the end of May in my backyard. Vancouver Island, BC

More Angles:

It's a chipping sparrow, per Merlin. I got this other pic of the parent that I ran through the app:
