There are several subspecies of Dark-eyed Juncos: the Oregon, the Slate-gray, the Canadian Rocky Mountain, the White-winged, the Pink-sided, and the Gray-headed. I’ve only been fortunate enough to see two of them. They are a type of Sparrow. They all have black eyes and a pink bill.
When I visit the west coast, I see the Oregon sub-species. Here in Georgia and other eastern US locations, I see the Slate-gray. I’m always amazed at their beauty.
