We have a resident family of what may be Oregon Juncos. They use the birdbath daily.
The head is completely black with the body a bright rufous-brown. The most distinctive markings are the long white tail feathers on either side of tail with the middle of tail black & dark brown feathers. We're next door to the Torrey Pines State Reserve Extension. Do you think it's an Oregon Junco, or?
Thanks,
M. Flower
