I was astonished to see two Dark-eyed Juncos using a tube feeder in my yard
today! Have others seen that behavior? Maybe the other birds weren’t
knocking enough seeds to the ground where Juncos normally feed. At the
feeder also were two Red-breastfed Nuthatches, a pale Lesser Goldfinch, and
House Finches. An American Robin alighted on the birdbath.

On 10/18 I was delightfully surprised by a Mountain Chickadee flying from
evergreen to evergreen. It made a couple quick stops at the tube feeder as
it made its way around the yard perimeter. It was 9/19/15 that I noted
previously seeing a Mountain Chickadee in my yard. The same day 10/18 as I
walked along the driveway to the front, a Cooper’s Hawk burst out of a low
shrub to fly with something small in its talons across the street into a
tall evergreen. I had been wondering if the family group was still around.
Got my answer.

So please tell me, who has seen Juncos at feeders?
