Dark-eyed junco

Junco hyemalis

Description:

Adults generally have gray heads, necks, and breasts, gray or brown backs and wings, and a white belly, but show a confusing amount of variation in plumage details. The white outer tail feathers flash distinctively in flight and while hopping on the ground. The bill is usually pale pinkish.

Habitat:

My yard

Notes:

This little bird had to watch its footing on the icy ground! They don't often have to deal with ice in these parts.
