We had a crisp male SLATE-COLORED JUNCO in our yard today with the regular
large flock of juncos. This is a FOS and the most striking Slate-colored
we've hosted, with not even a hint of brown or black to suggest
interbreeding.

It was a very birdy day in the yard in general, with a large flock of about
50 CEDAR WAXWINGS foraging on berries all morning, at least 6 TOWNSEND'S
WARBLERS flocking with Ruby-crowned and Golden-crowned Kinglets in the
trees, and a good assortment of sparrows. The pair of White-throated
Sparrows we hosted earlier in the month appear to have moved on.

Good birding,
Thomas Meinzen
Eugene
