Dark-eyed Junco

These cuties spend their summer breeding season up in Canada. They come home to our neck of the woods in winter. These are the first two I have seen this season.

Viewing the top picture, I am always happy when a bird lands in the perfect spot – like this photo that frames the subject in a natural wreath of branches.

I just reread the first paragraph. It made me wonder; do birds consider their breeding grounds “home” or is the location where they spend the winter months their “main residence?” Gotta wonder how a bird views the world.
