DESCRIPTION:
The bird in the image is a Dark-eyed Junco, most likely of the 'Slate-colored' subspecies group. It is a small passerine bird, characterized by its distinctly dark slate-gray plumage on the head, back, and wings, which contrasts sharply with its clean white belly. The bird has a relatively short, conical, and pale-colored bill. It is seen perched inside a wooden bird feeder filled with various seeds and nuts, set against a snowy backyard backdrop.
