Dark-eyed junco

back blip

This little fella is all puffed up on this cold morning. It is one variety of dark-eyed junco.  A lot of people around the U.S. are more familiar with the "Oregon" junco.  That one has a black hood.  There are actually 5 types of juncos, all of which can be found in this area. Kind of neat.

Two fishermen, Paul and Jim, decided to rent a boat on a lake for their favorite sport. After fishing for 4 hours at various places around the lake with no luck at all they decided to try one more spot before calling it quits. Suddenly things started to happen and they caught their limit inside of twenty minutes.
Paul said, "Hey we should mark this spot, so next time we will know where to come".
Jim thought that was a good idea, and he took out a can of spray paint and made a large X on the floor of the boat to mark the spot.
With that Paul asked, "why did you do that, now anyone who rents this boat will know where to fish".
