View Recording
DESCRIPTION:
The bird in the image is a Dark-eyed Junco, specifically appearing to be the 'Slate-colored' form. It is characterized by its uniform dark slate-gray plumage covering the head, back, and breast, which contrasts sharply with its clean white belly. A key identifying feature is its short, conical, and distinctively pale pinkish beak. The bird is perched on a feeder filled with seeds and nuts, suggesting it is foraging for food, against a backdrop of a snowy winter landscape.
