YSSA is the two hundredth junco to be banded as part of my junco research. She (or he) is a young fledgling: out of the nest, but not very good at flying yet.
Flying!
Little baby tail
I wonder if we’ll get to three hundred this season.
Two hundredth junco
I love the way he spreads his toes when he’s trying to fly! Congratulations on reaching 200 birds!
I love the dark-eyes juncos that visit me in winter. They are such gentle birds. So nice to see your research. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
