The other day, buried amid a mixed-subject post, I asked (so far unanswered) if
anyone on this listserv knows whether the so-called "Red-backed" Dark-eyed
Junco has occurred in Colorado and/or whether it has any history whatsoever of
occurring outside its normal range of Arizona to West Texas. This subspecies
is Junco hyemalis dorsalis and is considered distinct from our reddish-backed
breeder in CO (aka the "Gray-headed Junco, J. h. caniceps). I had a junco
with a bright red back patch at Crow Valley the other day that "looked
different" and it just got me to wondering about this junco subspecies. Thanks.
