Morning Luggers,
Juncos seem to be taking over our deck - at the expense of my favourite 
hummingbirds.

Here's one fellow strutting along the deck railing:

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:

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.
