Field Notes

Description:

Preferring to breed in Canada and the western US, this slate-colored specimen was spotted in the very southeastern-most part of the range where it might be found year-round.

Habitat:

Dark-eyed Juncos breed in coniferous or mixed-coniferous forests across Canada, the western U.S., and in the Appalachians. During winter you’ll find them in open woodlands, fields, parks, roadsides, and backyards.

Notes:

Spotted at Brasstown Bald in Georgia
