The Dark-eyed Junco, nicknamed the "snowbird," is a common, small sparrow-like bird that brightens Midwest winters with its slate-gray, white-bellied, and pink-billed appearance (males darker than females) These active, ground-feeding birds flock to woodlands, shrubby areas, and backyard feeders for seeds from October to April, often joining other sparrows, and are a familiar, abundant sight that signals the colder months. #winterbirds #Juncos 🌃⛄️❄️ 🐦‍⬛ | Steve McFate
