The junco is lost. Where am I? Ground or mid air? Why does that human go all that trouble? Why am I even thinking? I'm just a bird.

Well that's a rather clever solution.
Perhaps the in-the-wild equivalent would be to dig trenches... But that might indicate to our feathered friends that we wish to start an avian war...
Perhaps your method is safer.

lol omg....the lengths we'll go to....a brilliant and elegant solution....but crazy nonetheless lol....reminds me of one of my favourite philosophers...Carl Spackler who famously said "In order to conquer the animal, I have to learn to think like an animal. And whenever possible, to look like one. I've gotta get inside this guy's pelt and crawl around for a few days."

Great idea, a clever way to get them at the eye level. My more conventional solution is to put flower pots that sit on my deck fence and make a heap of soil to conceal the bream of the pots. Works well until a squirrel comes along and takes a dust bath, disturbing the mound of soil.

Which begged the question, where did you get the dirt?
Is that junco a boy or a girl? And whatever the gender, the eye seems sad.
