Junco....
The Dark-eyed is 5 to 6 1/2 inches long. The bill is pinkish and the eyes are dark. This bird varies geographically. The eastern "Slate-colored" race is uniform dark gray or brownish gray depending on whether it is male or female.

Mating Habits:
Dark-eyed Juncos are generally monogamous (one male to one female) defending their territory during the nesting and breeding season. Although these birds vary in appearance, they will breed freely with one another.

Nesting Habits:
The female builds and places its nest on the ground near tall vegetation. A cup shaped nest made of grasses, moss, twigs, and lined with rootlets. The female lays 3 to 6 gray or pale bluish eggs with dark blotches. The female incubates the eggs for 12 to 13 days and the young leave the nest about 9 to 13 days after hatching.

Feeding Habits:
These birds feed mostly on the ground, eating weed and grass seeds. In summer these bird feed mainly on insects.

great shot of this little creature! nice composition. very good blurred background. nice colors and focus. tfs

Excellent POV, DOF, sharpness and colors, Cecilia.
The V-shaped branch on which the bird is perched gave the impression of a swing in the thumbnail view of your image. It gives the composition a different outlook.
Well done and TFS.

This is beautiful, Cecilia. Wonderful BG, great sharpness and detail, and exposure. I suppose having your junco a little more off center may have been more dynamic. This is really lovely.

Thanks for sharing
