Bluebirds & Slate-colored Juncos

9AM cemetery walk - several Eastern Bluebirds and Slate-colored Juncoes were clustered on the suet feeder there - they don't seem to mind bacon grease at all. Makes me think of Cattle egrets at a Jamaican place we stayed at: meals were on a veranda and the egrets would perch on any vacant chairs. The instant you leaned back from the table they'd make a bee-line for leftover scrambled eggs. Another guest's comment "That's just wrong" gave me fits.


Mockers seemed stupified by the temperature in the teens as they perched in the sun, fully fluffed, and let you come much closer than normal, within a few steps.
