Do you know what kind of bird it is?  It looks similar, but larger, than a bird that's attracted to our pond and that bird is a Black Phoebe.

Great picture I enjoy watching birds also. Sure wish all the ice was gone from my pond but weather has been frigid in PA. Thanks for sharing. O0

Great picture Debbie.   The Juncos get here late fall and leave in spring.  Pond here still covered with ice and snow, and more snow coming tommorrow, then cold again.  I'm getting anxious to see the fish, I worry to much all winter if they are ok.
