This probably sounds silly, but it was a junco!

When we bought our first house (1970s), I put up a bird feeder on the deck. I didn't know what those cute little gray birds were, so I bought a Golden Field Guide, "Birds of North America" for $5. It's still my favorite ID source. It has travelled on so many vacations with us!
