Interesting Dark-eyed Junco behavior in the snow. 21 February 2013
While out photographing the birds in the backyard last night after our
one-foot snowstorm, I noticed two juncos engaging in what I would guess
describe as "unison calling"... something that is far more common in
cranes. I am not sure exactly if this is a typical courtship/mating
behavior in juncos or not, but it was really interesting to observe and
photograph. I was very pleased to see that my images came out sharp.
It only carried on for about 20 seconds or so before they resumed their
normal foraging and frolicking in the snow. Attached to this post are
the three best frames:
