Snowbird : Integrative Biology and Evolutionary Diversity in the Junco /

Mostrar otras versiones (1)

At birdfeeders and in backyards across North America, the dark-eyed junco, or snowbird, can be found foraging for its next meal. With an estimated population of at least 630 million, juncos inhabit forests, parks, and even suburban habitats, making them one of the continent's most abundant and...
