Dark-eyed Junco - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Dark-eyed Junco, Junco hyemalis, is the best-known species of junco, a genus of small American sparrows. It has a dark upper mandible and rust-color on the wings, making it still more similar to the Yellow-eyed Junco, with which it does not overlap in breeding range. The Slate-coloured Junco is a rare vagrant to western Europe and has wintered in Great Britain, usually in a domestic garden. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Dark-eyed_Junco   (627 words)

Birds, Familiar: Dark-eyed Junco, Life Histories of North American Birds, A.C. Bent Forbush (1929) cites a junco nest on a ledge beneath the gable of a house in Nova Scotia. On a pasture hillside the abode of the junco may be a little cup-shaped structure of straw in the midst of a blueberry patch; in a damp wood it will be a deeper structure with thick walls of moss, twigs, and hay with a substantial lining of fine hay or hair. Lawrence comments on "the lovely tinkling chorus by the juncos in early spring, as if a myriad of woodland sprites were shaking little bells in an intensive competition," and she syllabizes three variations of the junco song as follows: tilililililili, tililili-tililili, and tuituituitililili. home.bluemarble.net /~pqn/ch41-50/junco.html   (4613 words)
