Hi Catfinch - yes, they are quite small, the size of a small sparrow, bigger than a chickadee, and the one in the photo is fluffed up against the cold so appears rounder than it really is. The female is paler charcoal than the male. Here's a good link for the different subspecies: http://www.birds.cornell.edu/AllAboutBirds/BirdGuide/Dark-eyed_Junco_dtl.html
Loved your comment, Weeding...
