Nature Journal - Junco

 Since posting the other day about my nature journal, I added a page for some dark-eyed junco observations that I made last summer while leading June and July Road Scholar hikes.  Juncos live year round in Shenandoah, but are only found here in the winter.  I like these cheerful little "snowbirds," and am always happy to encounter them.  Finding the nest while leading the hike was a big thrill - everyone enjoyed getting a look at a bird nest with eggs.  Here is what I wrote yesterday and today in my journal about the Shenandoah juncos.
