Just got my 4th junco subsp of the season in Teller Co. - J. h. cismontanus - Cassiar Junco, at my feeder. No loral mark; no detectable hood; no color on flanks; brownish tinge/wash to mantle. Got pics, but haven't checked them out yet. Is still a bit dark here this morning and overcast.
Pink-sided (9/29), oregon (10/13) and white-winged (10/19) juncos have been her a while. While I sometimes get the nominate slate-colored, it is irregular at best. And members of the gray-headed caniceps are here year-round; though I suspect that individuals in the winter are migrants from up north and not the same as those breeding here during the summer. On another note, I did have Clark's Nutcrackers at Dome Rock SWA (Teller Co) on Saturday. And one Towsend's Solitaire.
