Day 26 of the 30 in 30 - "Spool of Gold"

Did you know that juncos are in the sparrow family?  There are 5 types of dark eyed juncos and they range across Canada, the U.S. and Mexico.  And they form monogamous relationships... meaning they are one of those rare breeds that mates for life. :) One last little interesting nugget of junco info - They are often called the 'snowbird', as in the eastern U.S. they appear at the start of the winter and then flies north again in the spring!  So, Eastern U.S.-ers... enjoy them while you can, because they'll be gone soon!

Day 10 of the 30 in 30 - "A Fine Perch"

I am enjoying these little vignettes :)  I had forgotten just how cute juncos are and also forgot how much fun it is to paint marbles!  There are little microcosms in each of them.  And putting them together is even better... I think the bird agrees, hence the title.

I'll have to get a better picture as the lighting wasn't the greatest, but here it is for now. :)
