1914 BIRDS OF ARIZONA 55 



238. Junco hyemalis hyemalis (Linnaeus). 



SLATE-COLORED JUNCO. 



Status Has been reported in winter from many scattered points : Fort 

 Whipple. Fort Mohave, Santa Catalina Mountains, Huachuca JYIountains, Wil- 

 liams, etc. Never at all common, but usually found in flocks composed of the 

 various species of juncos wintering in the region. 



239. Junoo montanus Ridgway. 



MONTANA JUNCO. 



Synonym Junco hyemalis montanus. 



Status "In winter south to Arizona (Tucson)'' (Ridgway, 1901, p. 290). 

 I know of no other record. 



240. Junco oreganus thurberi Anthony. 



SIERRA JUNCO. 



Synonyms Junco oregonus, part; Jnnco hyemalis thurberi. 



Status As this species has been found in abundance in winter in the 

 Huachua Mountains, of extreme southeastern Arizona (Swarth, 19040, p. 40) 

 it will doubtless prove to be a common winter visitant in all suitable places west 

 of that point. There is record of a specimen from Fort Whipple (Ridgway, 

 1901, p. 288). There is a specimen in the Museum of Vertebrate Zoology (no. 

 4143) taken by J. G. Cooper at Fort Mohave. December 24, 1860. 



241. Junco oreganus shufeldti Coale. 



SHUFELDT JUNCO. 



Synonyms Strnthns oregonns; Junco oregonns, part; Jnnco hycmalis ore- 

 gonns; Jnnco conncctcns ; Jnnco hycmalis conncctens. 



Status A common winter visitant reported from all parts of Arizona, but 

 generally favoring the mountains and the foothill regions, rather than the more 

 open valleys. Nearly all of the numerous records of Jnnco oregonus in Arizona 

 are considered by Ridgway (igoi, p. 285) to pertain to this subspecies.

 ties : Fort Whipple, Williams, and the Chiricahua, Santa Catalina, Huachuca,
