Sweetfern, Comptonia peregrina, is neither sweet nor a fern. It looks like something the dinosaurs would have walked through, releasing the warmest, spiciest aromas of imagination.
We actually had a junco at our feeder this weekend - first we've seen all year. They are rare at our feeder so it's cause for great excitement when one appears. Feel so sorry for the wee birdies and animals that are outside in these extreme temperatures.

I like your puffy junco!
