I've had them all winter, however instead of 25 I've had about 8 to 12 per day. I especially can see the full number around sunset before it gets real dark. I definitely have more juncos then WT Sparrows this winter and it is usually the other way around. Cindy CageNorwalk, CT In a message dated 1/4/2021 10:04:54 PM Eastern Standard Time, ctbirds@lists.ctbirding.org writes:  We’ve had 20-25 pretty steadily for the past 4-5 weeks.
