Yellow-eyed Junco

I took this image at my house in AZ while there on vacation the month Jan. I had never seen a bird with such dramtic looking eyes.
I hope you like him, I thought he was pretty cool.
Thanks,
Tab

Length: 5.5 inches

Conical bill with dark upper mandible
Yellow eyes
Dark lores
Gray head and breast
Rusty back
White outer tail feathers


Unites States range restricted to southeastern Arizona and southwestern New Mexico

The Dark-eyed Junco is similar to the local (southeast Arizona) Yellow-eyed Junco but has dark eyes. Black-chinned sparrow has streaked back, brown wings and lacks white in the tail.

Hi Tabatha,

Wonderful portrait of this Junco with the evil eye. His face does not have a pleasant expression at all. Wonderful colors and sharp sharp details. The background is perfect. I think I mentioned before that I have never seen this bird in Tucson. Maybe it's too far south for him?

Perfect capture, and apt title Tabatha!!!

Kind regards,
Goldy

Tabatha,
Excellent shot, very sharp with fine, detail. Love the crop, it really shows off the beautiful color of the upper body. That golden eye really draws your attention.
Nice job!!
