… it’s the juncos,
in their undertaker outfits,
who slip unnoticed into melancholy
smuggling minims of lift.
Bless them. They exit
with a wink, tail
snapping open like a card hand to reveal
white feathers at each edge …

I love the juncos, nice post, Annie
Thanks Annie!
Juncos are a favorite of mine, too. I always look forward to their winter visits.
They are pretty birds. I haven’t seen any at the feeder this year, but do see them darting among the trees on our country road.
Hi. They visit our feeders in winter. Don McKay captures them so well! Jane
