Oregon Junco

"A hundred years ago, many birds carried the name of “Oregon,” including Oregon Jays, Oregon Chickadees, Oregon Titmice, and Oregon Towhees. One by one, those names fell into disuse or were discarded. The last bird bearing the state's name is the Oregon Junco." https://oregonencyclopedia.org/articles/oregon_junco/) This is a photo of an Oregon Junco that landed in front of me on our front porch. I only had time for a quick shot, not top-notch but satisfactory.

Juncos are found throughout the US, as well as other places. At first, many North American Juncos were treated as separate species> Since then, the Slate-colored Junco of the East, the Gray-headed Junco of the Southwest, the White-winged Junco of the Black Hills of South Dakota, and the Oregon Junco have been combined into a single species, the Dark-eyed Junco.

It's still an 'Oregon' Junco to me. I have many of them in the yard all year here in Washington as well. If it weren't for them, the yard would be pretty empty in the winter.
