Chillin’ with St. Francis

9857_Mar 2015

As the snow fell last weekend, the birds were hanging out near the feeders in my yard.  I have a statue of St. Francis at the corner of the porch and directly behind it are two holly bushes.  As the birds darted back and forth to the feeders, they sought cover from the snow in the bushes and, every now and then, stopped for a rest on St. Francis’ head!  This is a Dark-Eyed Junco.  They are in the Sparrow family and generally only visit in winter.
