      Thank you! The parents have been “hanging around” for quite a while but more recently have become quite vocal when we leave the house. Then, besides the adults, three fledglings appear as well! Posted 6 years ago

The Dark-eyed junco

The dark-eyed junco is a species of junco, a group of small, grayish New World sparrows. This bird is common across much of temperate North America and in summer ranges far into the Arctic. It is a very variable species, much like the related fox sparrow, and its systematics are still not completely untangled.
