junco

Slightly larger than the common eastern Junco, and with two white bars on the wing and more white on the tail.

This was the first junco's nest I had ever found, and no one can blame me for feeling gratified with the discovery.

Before leaving the town, our first gray-headed junco for this expedition was seen.

The little black-headed snowbird, Thurber's junco, is the most common of all the Tahoe birds.

The Junco's call-notes are a sharp tsip, a contented chew-chew-chew, and a sharp kissing call.
