I need to correct my previous posting. I should have said "intergrade"
instead of "hybrid juncos" They cannot be hybrids because the parental
types are only subspecies, not different species. As with flickers, the
term intergrade is the appropriate term.
Christian's Junco photos with frost or snow covered vegetation reminded
me that White-winged Juncos would show up in Bluebell Canyon after a
light dusting of snow. I assumed they were at higher elevation when it
was not snowing.
On Monday behind the Red Rocks Trading Post there was a nice mix of 4
types of Juncos, but none with white wings.
I would love to look for any recent White-winged Junco sightings along
the Front Range. Anybody?

For a look back here is an article I wrote about two hybrid juncos I
banded in Boulder. One hybrid that I called 'Rusty" is in color on
the pdf.
