This friendly visitor, with mark- lngs that suggest a very sub- dued penguin, is the slate- coloured or dark-eyed junco. Juncos are members of the finch famnily, a large and diverse group that includes sparrows, cardinals, crossbills, and buntings. Like their relatives, juncôs have stout, concial bills for crack- ing seeds, which formn the mainstay of their diet. Jun- cos seeni to ike to feed froni the ground or the surface of the snow, especially around the base of your feeder where other birds have scattered their wastes. Because of this habit, somne people know this bird as the black snowbird. Ontario is one of the few places where juncos are pre- sent year round, even though they seem much more scarce in summer. While juncos range across much of North America from the tree Uine south, we are at the southern edge of their breeding range, and near the northern edge of their winter distribution. A nesting pair of juncos chooses the edge of a deciduons or confier woods for raising its brood, and searches for a nest site under the cover of a -,tump, overhanging bank, or even the eave of a building occas- sionally. In a deep mossy cup of a nest, the four or five blue-white speckled eggs take only 12 days to hatch. A flock of juncos usually is announced by a medley of jinging trilîs - voices that seera too large to come from birds that seldom weigh more than an ounce. The bird's subtle colouring is enhanced by two brilliant strips of white down either side of the WORK WANTED D&aR Custom Fenclng and cuatom chaîn-sawlng 983-9827 or 623-7353 Orono, ont. tail, that are flashied in flight. Feeding juncos also seeni to ujse their tati strips in an ag- gressive way to fight for tlheir share of the supply of rich seeds. When the fresh-fallen snow lies thick on the bran~- ches, the cheerful antics of a flock of juncos is evideflce enought, that alI of the natural world is slumbering.
