Dark-Eyed Junco (Female Oregon) #7799

White Rock, NM

Junco hyemalis oreganus

We get a lot of Juncos, who love to eat white millet seeds. It is hard to tell all the different Juncos apart, this one may also be a female Oregon Junco. There are at least four kinds ("races"): Oregon Juncos (very dark head), Gray-Headed (gray head and a brown patch on the top of the back), Pink-Sided (closely related to Oregon Juncos, have more pronounced brown/pink on their sides and a well-defined gray cap), and Slate-Colored. We do get Slate-colored Juncos here, but fewer of them than any of the other three common races.


other sizes: small medium original auto
