Description
Dark-eyed juncos are unique sparrows that nest on or near the ground in forests. In winter, they typically form flocks and often associate with other species, including chipping sparrows, pine and palm warblers (in the southeastern United States.), and bluebirds. When disturbed the entire flock suddenly flies up to a tree, usually perching in the open and calling in aggravation at the intrusion. This specimen was captured in rural southwest Missouri.

Lovely capture of the bird, and a beautifully designed background - attractive, but keeping attention on the subject. Great work, Deena! F&V
