Today, I had my final subspecies of Junco show up at my home here north of Woodland Park in Teller County - white-winged (aikenii). And all 6 races but one are present today (missing hyemalis today).
That completes the group of six that I eagerly await each fall - in order of first appearance (though not always in this order each year): . Gray-headed (caniceps) - year round, though I assume that the breeders move south at this time and I have those from further north in the summer here now. . Pink-sided (mearnsi) . Slate-colored (hyemalis) . Oregon/Hooded (I assume all are shufeldti, but there are other possibilities) . Cassiar (cismontanus) . White-winged (aikenii) Beautiful, cheerful, active little birds to have from October through April.
