If memory serves I had a similar bird two years in a row at the very same location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clip Posted September 16, 2021 Author Share Posted September 16, 2021 Ran across another interesting old photo of what I believe is a Dark-eyed Junco white-winged variation. I could be wrong on this. Please explain if I'm wrong. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could be wrong on this. Please explain if I'm wrong. I think you are right with this being a white-winged variant of Slate-colored. They are not that uncommon, about one in every 200. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, there are White-winged subspecies of Dark-eyed Junco, but there are also Slate-colored Juncos, one in 200, that have white wing-bars and can look somewhat similar to White-winged. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then my question would be: how would you separate those individuals from actual White-winged? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, according to my Sibley, you have to look at the different features- White-winged is usually paler, with blackish lores and a pale throat and extensive white on the tail. It's not that easy, though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think range and the slate colored juncos tend to be darker as well as having less white in the tail. I have seen two of these slate colored juncos before. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
