The junco is also known as the Eastern
Snowbird. They are one of the most common visitors to birdfeeders, especially in the
winter.
The junco is one of the birds most frequently seen
on the Appalachian Trail.
If you are in the woods and a junco suddenly flies
out at foot-level, this is because they build their nests low to the ground. If you look,
you may find a cup-shaped nest under a bush or hidden in the grass.
