The Dark-eyed Junco was once considered a separate species from the
Slate-colored Junco, White-winged Junco and the Oregon Junco. However
these birds interbreed wherever their ranges meet and are now considered one
species. Juncos are among the most common of birds, and are frequent
visitors to feeders.
Their habitat includes coniferous or mixed forests, fields, gardens, city
parks and roadside thickets. They breed form Alaska east across Canada
to Newfoundland, and south to the mountains of Mexico and Georgia.
They winter south to the Gulf Coast and northern Mexico.
