How lovely to know you also have a bird feeder :). I love birds very much, and I too keep a bird feeder outside on my balcony.

Those dark eyed juncos you talk about are very hardy birds. I see them often and they visit my bird feeder often. Once they discovered it, they keep coming back. I think it is like that with most bird species, similar to a hummingbird. When they find a hummingbird feeder, they kind of think of it as their 'own' and keep coming back to it, and get very defensive about other hummingbirds coming back to take the nectar.

I'm not trying to downplay your experience, however they are common birds and I know other people who also get a lot of the juncos visit their bird feeders in clusters! It may be a type of behaviour that is common amongst the juncos?

Enjoy watching them! They're very cute :). All the best to you!
