Again another wonderful bird capture here in the cold. I like how agaian the background isn't distracting and adds to enhance the bird here and the detail of its feathers and also expression that comes through. Good job

Beautiful capture of the little Junco with Snow in April. Your central composition is strong. I like how well you captured the eye and the personality of this lovely bird. Very well photographed with good lighting, sharp focus, and wonderful details and clarity on the feathers and marking of this gorgeous bird. Outstanding shot and thanks for sharing. Love this!

I only see the juncos in in winter and so this is a very common situation with the snow and all. A well composed shot with fine detail in the plumage but the eye is all but lost in the dark feathers of his head.

Yes, he seems quite relaxed about the weather over there! Your nice and central composition offers us a good look at your visitor. Sharpness and exposure are good. Well done!

So far so good for us, the snow is just about all gone with none predicted! This is such a cute little bird, it seems quite content and not all puffed up like it's cold! Well focused, the image is clear, exposure is good both for the bird and the white snow, colors and tones appear natural. Well composed and presented!

Holy Snowy day in April Greenie!
I love these wee plump birds with their smokey grey coloring pale pinkish red tiny pointy beak and black eye.
Outstanding Shooting in the flat light, falling snow and cold wind.
White balance, focus, details all Superb here.
Well done!!

    Thank you. That is sky and tree branches in the background. It was snowing lightly at the time.
