Similar experience today and as reported here earlier this week. On today's drive up US Rt. 5 on the Connecticut River's VT side, I counted 80+/- juncos. Crossing into NH and traveling the three miles back to our place via E. Thetford and Dorchester Roads, I tallied another 50+/- .

Because irruption doesn’t adequately describe what’s going on...I don’t put out a lot of feeders/feed, but the past couple of days I have seen unprecedented junco numbers. Easily 50 plus at my place, and on a drive up to Wells River and back on I-91 this afternoon there were groups of a dozen or (many) more that would take flight from the shoulder of the road every couple of miles. I’m sure I saw over 200 on a twelve mile drive.Are other folks seeing crazy numbers like this?Mark CouncilFairlee(Right in the river valley)--
It's not by chance that the dark center of human eye, the pupil, is actually an empty hole through which the world becomes known to us. Likewise, in a spiritual sense, the I is the empty center through which we see everything. It's revealing that such a threshold is called the pupil, for it is only when we are emptied of all noise and dreams of ego that we become truly teachable. -Mark Nepo
