Usually when I think of snow birds I think of the birds I miss during the winter; the warblers and robins, ducks and geese, bluebirds and orioles. These birds fly south for the winter. I saw my first junco of the season yesterday. Right now a junco is sitting under my deck swing trying to stay dry. For the junco, this is south. They summer in the arctic circle and have come here, to warmer climes, to spend the winter.
