Like Alan, we don't see them most of the summer but they breed near us in the
neighborhood hillsides and we had a single young bird visit for a couple of
days in late June.
I am intrigued that they are nearby but don't visit regularly or in any notable
numbers until fall.

Could be from local breeding. I live in residential Eugene and a pair breeds
just up the block. After they are done they wander around a bit.

We just saw our first junco of the season on the roof of our barn. It seems
