1914 BIRDS OF ARIZONA 55 



238. Junco hyemalis hyemalis (Linnaeus). 



Slate -cui-OKEi) Junco. 

 Status— Has been re])ortecl in winter from many scattered points: Fort 

 Whipple. Fort Mohave. Santa Catahna Mountains, Huachuca Mountains, Wil- 

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

 various species of juncos wintering in the region. 



230). Junco montamis Ridgway. 



Montana Junco. 



Svnonym — Junco hyemalis uwnfaniis. 



Siatus— "In winter "south to Arizona (Tucson)" (Ridgway, 1901, p. 290). 

 I know of no other record. 



240. Junco oreganus thurberi Anthony. 



Sierra Junco. 



Synonyms — Jiinco oregoniis, part; Junco hycuialis thurberi. 



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

 Huachua Mountains, of extreme southeastern Arizona (Swarth, 1904b, 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. 

 T901. p. 288). There is a specimen in the Museum of Vertebrate Zoology (no. 

 4143) taken by J. G. Cooper at Fort Mohave, December 24, i860. 



2^T. Junco oreganus shufeldti Coale. 



Shufeldt Junco. 



Synonyms— Struthus orcgomts; Junco orcgonus, part; Juuco hycmahs orc- 

 ^oiius; Junco conncctcns ; Junco hyemalis connectcns. 



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 Junco orcgonus in Arizona 

 are considered by Ridgway (1901, p. 285) to pertain to this subspecies.
