this snow swept old fence line is alive with dark-eyed juncos, mostly puffed out with the winter chill. the picture shows all four of the dark-eyed junco variants typical of western colorado: the pink-sided, the slate-colored, the gray-headed, and a pair of oregons: a male and a female. as seed-eaters, they're foraging among the weeds and grass that emerge from the snow. in the foggy distance is a farmhouse and barn.
