24. Junco hyemalis. Slate-colored Junco. — Very common from the 
base to the bare rocky summits of tire highest peaks. It occurs not only 
on the summit of Mt. Washington, where it can find plenty of food about 
the stables, but on the tops of Mt. Adams, Mt. Jefferson, and other peaks, 
where there are only bare lichen-covered boulders without even the hardy 
alpine plants found but a short distance below. In such places the Junco 
must breed, for early in July old birds were feeding newly fledged young 
with insects, of which they seemed to find large numbers. Two females 
shot on July 12 had ovaries nearly ready for a second clutch of eggs, and 
one was seen with its bill full of horse-hair.
