A Dark-Eyed Junco in sunlight on a cold and windy Winter morning
These Dark-Eyed Juncos were photographed on the same cold morning as the previous post. Again, the post processing was completed on Adobe Lightroom Mobile on the iPhone 7 Plus.

Dark-Eyed Junco in Winter
We get plenty of Dark-Eyed Juncos visiting during the Winter months. For a rather plain looking bird at a distance, they have subtle coloring upon closer inspection and they always seem to be willing to strike a pose or two. Over the past several weeks, I captured a number of images of the Juncos in the snow, falling snow, and ice.

The first accumulating snow fall of the 2017/2018 winter season arrived this weekend in upstate New York. In the mid-afternoon, the birds were active and visiting the feeders. I managed to take several hundred photos with the Canon 7D Mark II and the Canon EF 100-400MM F/4.5-5.6L IS USM lens as they came and went in the snow. The birds included several male and female Northern Cardinals, Dark-Eyed Juncos, American Tree Sparrows, American Goldfinches, and an occasional Blue Jay.

A Dark-Eyed Junco in Winter
These images were captured on the same day I photographed the Northern Cardinals in the snow. I shot with Canon 7D Mark II and the Canon EF 100-400 F/4.5-5.6L IS USM lens handheld throughout the mid-morning.
The Juncos and American Goldfinches were quite abundant only intermittently being chased off by a Gray Squirrel or Blue Jay. My objective with these photos were to blowout the backgrounds as much as possible isolating the bird. A few of the birds cooperated by perching atop the feeder in the snow or on the hanger wire. I particularly like the images with the snow flakes on the bird's beak.
These images are processed in Lightroom CC and Photoshop CC for exposure, crop, and clarity/sharpness.

A Dark-Eyed Junco in the Winter light
While on holiday vacation, I photographed the above Dark-Eyed Junco visiting the bird feeder one morning. The light was low and, as can be seen by the background, there was no snow on the ground.
