There seemed to have been a migration influx of dark-eyed juncos today. Th=
ey were everywhere I went at both feeders and roadside. Numbers ranged fro=
m two to 20 in the groups that I saw. These birds also showed a marked inc=
rease at my feeders at home. So I saw them from LaHave to Riverport, in Ro=
se Bay, First South, in Garden Lots, Loads through the Indian Path Road and=
groups between LaHave and Bridgewater. Prior to today I had a job to loca=
te this species, this is why I think large numbers arrived from somewhere.

Since they lack teeth, I believe all birds need grit to grind up or
predigest their food. Perhaps there are some exceptions?
