Usually seen in open conifer areas. They are very striking birds with that yellow eye.<BR/><BR/>Nice photo.

We did some exploring around the Oracle area when our kids were young - they went to camp in Peppersauce Canyon.<BR/><BR/>ra - I was very excited when they came hopping onto the terrace. They must habituate the place - they were definitely begging. <BR/><BR/>cb - Nice description!Pam in Tucsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10030449989883826414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16027033.post-81657787352911591022008-05-10T15:47:00.000-07:002008-05-10T15:47:00.000-07:00Your point and click did very well - they look lik...Your point and click did very well - they look like house sparrows have gone a little rusty!Kay Cookehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01791873464409271216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16027033.post-22752534689881580442008-05-06T10:31:00.000-07:002008-05-06T10:31:00.000-07:00Love that yellow-eyed junco.

Have you ever taken the back road off the top that takes you down the north slope to eventually Oracle? We did that a couple of years ago. It seemed to take forever to get down but pretty drive.Rain Trueaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07994628226501093880noreply@blogger.com
