Cardinals, Juncos, Starlings, and a Robin

Today I feature several groupings of photos of particular species of birds. The first are four of a male Cardinal.

The next group of photos are of Juncos at different times of day.

Starlings are one of our regular backyard visitors. So in spite of most persons not liking them, here are three photos that caught  my interest.

The final photo is an American Robin in a tree. I am not sure how long I will keep finding Robins, but for now I am.

As last time, these are not new birds, but the photos seemed interesting to me. Hope you enjoyed them.
