Similar situation here in Warren NH with the juncos. Very interesting indeed. I loaded up the feeders before going away for the weekend and when I got back home this evening the feeders were at ¼ and there were more juncos here than ever at one time the entire winter…50+ easily. Their numbers had significantly waned until this evening. I immediately threw out some millet mix on the nasty frozen white stuff and they speedily engorged. By ~6:30PM they all disappeared into woods. Makes you happy to be a bird feeder. Should be an interesting morning.

> Birds galore at our home in Enfield Center! Our feeders are all put away so I spread millet/sunflower mix on the ground and it’s a party: the ground looks like it’s moving. Mostly juncos, a couple of chickadees, tree and song sparrows, white throated sparrows, purple finch, gold finch, downy woodpeckers, blue jay, white breasts nuthatch, crows, morning doves, chipmunks, and red/gray squirrels. More birds at once than all through the winter. The precipitation has sealed off the ground so spread some seed and enjoy.
