One of my favourite birds in December - the Slate-coloured Junco

Photo by BarrytheBirder
There are 12 subspecies of Juncos in North America.  The "Slate-coloured" Junco is the most widespread and the the only form found regularly in eastern North America.   It does however breed from Alaska to Newfoundland, up through the boreal forest and down through the Appalachias to Georgia.   It is a ground feeder normally and goes voraciously through a lot of expensive Niger seed in my backyard.   When the Niger seed is gone, it will consume other seeds from the hanging feeders.
