Right about the juncos. I exclaimed to my dear wife and at home
college kids, "What, juncos IN the feeder?"
Would this, could this, fall into the category of 'adaptation'? Like
we are really hungry and observant, and will bend the rules once in a
while.

Although I did not expect any activity in this record-breaking storm, my
neighbor's feeders did provide me with
a half-dozen goldfinches,
a white-throated sparrow,
a half-dozen dark-eyed juncos,
two cardinals (M&F),
and at least one song sparrow.
It was the first time in my 18 years of birding that I'd seen juncos go up
to and land on and use feeders. In the years when I was allowed to have
feeders in my yard, they always stayed on the ground - or on the snow.
No partridges, and no pear trees, at least at this location.
There was also another bird that I photographed but did not recognize.
