ANNOTATED LIST OF THE BIRDS 283 



SLATE-COLORED JUNCO (Junco hyemalis) 

 The Junco is one of our most familiar and best known 

 transients and winter residents. In the fall I see it every 

 year on Fifth Avenue, in back yards, and in the squares 

 throughout the city. It arrives with the first cold weather in 

 September. In the middle of March large flocks of transient 

 individuals arrive in full song from the South, and a few 

 birds linger until the first week in May.
