A Junco at the Deer Carcass


I went over to check out the birds at the deer carcass birdfeeder at the Maxville Alternative High School.  I was hoping to get a photo of a Dark-eyed Junco eating suet.  This time the birds cooperated.


I also documented the juncos eating thistle.

A Red-breasted Nuthatch at the upside-down suet feeder.

 

And this "mystery" bird.  With the black head, my first thought was:  Rose-breasted Grosbeak?
Too small.    
Here's another view:

 

It's a very dark male purple finch!
