Dark-eyed Junco 'Oregon Race'



When I came home from work today I did not think there was any birds in the house until Ross came home. He thought there was only one bird till I told him there was two heads and four legs.

Flashy white tail feathers with a pink bill. Juncos breeding south of Yakutat Bay have (males)black hood and (females) gray hood. This is a male, I mean they are males. There are four related 'races' all have a dark hood and light outer tail feathers.

Nests on ground. Common in southeast Alaska in Fall months
