They all look good Harv and the perches really add to the pleasing effect.

Pretty shots Harvey, love the "perches & poses"... always enjoyable to see the spring juncos fly in... at dawn & dusk my lawn is full of them... but unlike the siskins, they will head north... thankfully the chickadees stay with us. :)

All 3 are very beautiful captures Harv.
I've lost my Juncos for the summer, but yours look marvelous on very interesting perchs. Exquisite IQ on both, but I really am drawn to the 1st.
I too have my year-round Chickadees, and I love the inquisitive look yours is giving. I'm glad for both of us to have these cuties to tide us over.

Like you, Dave, I always enjoy the Juncos. Yes, the chickadees will be around as will the Goldfinches. Thanks a lot.

How did I manage to miss these little beauties. The Junco is wonderful, especially the second photo, but the Chickadee, well, they always steal my heart. Lovely Harv!
