Podrobnosti k pozorování

The first 11 photos are all the same bird. Very gray head, black lores and around base of bill, extensive light brown sides and flanks. Seems pretty good for a first year female pink-sided junco to me. Will wait for additional review. The last four photos are a second junco in the same flock that I also think may be pink sided, but less sure. Even more extensive light brown sides and flanks, and brown comes much further onto the breast. A darker head somewhat obscures the black lores. Also, this second bird has a more brown back ( like Oregon)... possible intergrade? Unsure on this one. Both birds were in a small junco flock on the northernmost edge of the reservoir, at the willow/sagebrush interface.
