Episode 30: Dark-Eyed Junco – Voice of the Wild

Dark-eyed junco (Junco hyemalis). 

Fleeing the chill of the arctic winter, the junco arrives in the Midwest just as our winds get brisk and the leaves start turning. Look for their little pale bill and white-edged tail as they pick beneath birdfeeders and flit around winter woodlands, cemeteries, and parks.
