Having approximately 932 juncos on my lawn every day I've noticed their colours vary a lot. I just recently learned the dark eyed junco is divided into multiple sub-species but it's so tough to id the differences. Even varying websites cannot agree, or even mention all subspecies. Considering how inconsistent the info is, there could be more sub-species I have yet to discover...
so if anyone knows of a reliable consistent site to recommend that'd be helpful... or if you know a key difference to look for on the junco itself.
One distinguishing feature that I haven't found any mention of, is the light brown mohawk on a grey head of the junco... is this familiar to anyone?
It seems to me that I have all three species here (in South Langley) but cannot find the info to determine the truth. The truth will set me free.
