Dark-eyed Junco Patch

#89 Dark-eyed Junco

Small, crisp little sparrows, Dark-eyed Juncos are one of the most abundant birds in North America. They breed across mountain forests and in Canada, then spread south through the continent in the winter—hence the nickname “snowbirds”—where they flock up at backyard feeders, parks, and woods. North America has about 15 subspecies with varying plumage, but all flash bright white outer tail feathers in flight.
