Thank you for the ID on the word, that was a bird. Always good to learn the
facts. What I was thinking it meant  was- In the UK, juncos is a common
nickname for a drug user.)

Robert,
Juncos are a type of sparrow which spend their summers in Western Canada and
winters throughout the US. There are several varieties, but most have white
tail feathers. They are ground feeders and will come to trays of hulled
sunflower seeds and some other things I've forgotten since reading the
Cornell ornothology page yesterday (so much for my short-term memory). We
see their return as a sure sign that Winter is at their heels -- do birds
have heels? I think they actually do; they have thighs and knee joints. I'm
saying they most definitely have heels. *grin* Donna

Shawn, then Donna

Shawn, I really liked your haiku. (I didn't have to strain my brain to get
it!)

Donna, what is a Junco?

Thanks you to, the two of you light up our list!

Thanks for sharing.  It inspired the following haiku.

I once drew a blank
when called upon to write poems.
Now I just fake it.

Hi all you poetry lovers,
I wrote this haiku a week ago when the junkos returned.

Mid-October finds
Hunter Moon shielding his face
As Juncos return.
