Here's one fellow strutting along the deck railing: <http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Howard+Cummer/Hummers2014/Junco1.jpg.html> And here is one inside the pot of one of our hanging fuchsias. It was too close to focus the Nikon 80 - 400 bazooka so I grabbed the Olympus EM 1with the panasonic 100 - 300 zoom (one of my safari combinations) and took this closeup picture: <http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Howard+Cummer/Hummers2014/JuncoPeekaboo.jpg.html> It looks like the juncos may be building a nest in the middle of the fuchsia hanging pot - even though I don't think it is nesting season. If so you can expect more Junco photos - although I don't find them as interesting or attractive as my elusive hummingbirds. Please look large. The picture drawing quality of the 100 - 300 on the EM 1 isn't bad for a piece of plastic. Cheers Howard.
