Subject: Re: Pink-sided, Slate-colored or Oregon Junco?
From: "Peter H. Yaukey" <pyaukey(AT)UNO.EDU>
Date: 11 Jan 2001 8:36am
Bill, Paul, and LABird:
I spent my Master's work examining interracial dominance relationships among
juncos in the Boulder area (CO) and in the Black Hills of SD in the wintertime,
back in '85-'87 (Journal of Biogeography, 21:359-368). As Paul indicated, all
forms can often be found in a single flock in winter in the foothills of the
Rockies.
I always felt the most important mark for separating Pink-sideds from
tan-colored Slate-coloreds was the among of demarcation betweent the hood and
breast where they abut. A clean, contrasty line of demarcation was typically
indicative of Pink-sided. Otherwise, Slate-coloreds can be quite pink on the
side and so can get confusing- the degree of brownness is not a reliable
character, I fell the demarcation clarity is better. Typically, Pink-sideds
have a more pearly gray color (vs dark or pale slate) on the hood as well.
This having been said, there were perhaps 10% of the juncos in my flocks that I
felt were too "in between" to be assignable to race in the field. These
probably included a number of the "cismontanus" Slate-coloreds that Paul
mentions, which are hard to pin down in the field.

yesterday, right after posting the above, we watched robins & waxwings
berry-hunting like maniacs up & down the coulee, finally settling on
chinese privet (Ligustrum sinense) fruits -- just like it was march (they
almost always keep L. sinense berries for last, just before they migrate).
re: lack of avian enthusiasm on deciduous holly berries (Ilex decidua),
that's not what i wanted to hear, van. man, i love that tree! but i'm in no
position to add any bird frug information to what you've written, since i
have not taken the time to hang around any I. decidua colonies at the
proper time.

Subject: RE: Pink-sided, Slate-colored or Oregon Junco?
Peter: I agree about the pearly gray hood. I have noticed that on breeding
Juncos in Wyoming and southern Montana. In fact, that is why I am now am
unsure if the Juncos with bold pink sides that I have seen here are
attributable to that geographic area. I have seen many birds here with bold
salmon pink or rusty pink sides and distinct hoods that did not seem so
pearly gray in the hood as the Yellowstone birds. I would guess that Juncos
from the northern overlap area of mearnsi with the cismontanus slate-colored
type and Miller's "montanus" type oregons would have darker gray or browner
gray hoods. I wonder if these northern Montana or Alberta intergrades are
largely what we see with "pink" sides here rather than the Wyoming mearnsi
types. Of course if we can get a caniceps and a mearnsi x caniceps, then we
can get a Wyoming mearnsi. This is why I get aggravated with the field
guides. Juncos are variable. Miller even states that mearnsi is the most
variable of the races. People see those depictions in the guides as
distinct sub-species one of which, their odd bird must be placed into.
Audubon even does this to us on the CBC form. This is one widespread
species, Dark-eyed Junco, with a lot of geographic variations which freely
and frequently interbreed. One race blends into others as their breeding
ranges overlap. I agree with you that you can't always assign Juncos to a
neat and tidy race.

Subject: LA Western Winter Hummer Report #21
From: Tom & Eloise Sylvest <tomande(AT)STARGAZER.NET>
Date: 11 Jan 2001 11:39am
Louisiana Western Hummer Weekly Report #21 from 1-3-01 through 1-10-01
Humnetters and Labirders,
Look at David L'Hoste's histograms and Stacy Peterson's maps of our
Louisiana Western Winter Hummers at the LOS Website as follows:
<http://losbird.org>
Do not be offended by my not acknowledging your reports individually as
they have become too numerous
and it would require too much time. However, please report my errors to me.
Thank you for sending your first observed dates on western hummers in
Louisiana. Please continue to send your reports. And, be sure to include
those reports by birders who do not subscribe to our lists.
Report the presence of Rubythroats also. Although, there will be a separate
weekly report for Rubythroats.
Also, please honor the request of Dr. Remsen, LSU, for info as follows:
1. Whether the bird is known to be a return (banded or marked)
2. Whether the bird is likely a return (adult with similar
markings/behavior -- this can be subjective, but do your best).
3. The departure date if you know it.
From 1-3-01 through1-10-01 we have had additional
western winter hummers reported in Louisiana with
first observed dates.

I have had similar (if not the same) questions regarding subspeciation
of
juncos. I am currently applying for a banding permit, and one of my
objectives will be to try and better understand the many idiosyncrasies of
the different races, etc. I was astounded to see that no new data has been
published in 60+ years! Good birding...

Bill, Labirders,
I, too, have noticed that the birds ignore the deciduous holly. And =
the few cedar waxwings I find now are in privet (Ligustrum) shrubs. I =
thought this was early for the birds to be eating those fruit. Lucky =
for them, I didn't get all the areas cleared that I'd planned on =
cutting. I plan to replace them with other bird friendly shrubs! =20
Now I'm more confused about the juncos. :-) One similar to that =
described by Bill was in my yard last week. Hope it's here this weekend =
so I can check out those other id points.

James: There has been lots of Junco data published in the last 60 years,
what I said was that Miller covered the topic so thoroughly that nothing
substantial on the matter of race descriptions has been added. He described
them all.
Horace Jeter and I saw an interesting one today in Northern Caddo Parish:
Distinct slate gray hood, convex at the breast with a clear contrasting
border, broad reddish brown sides. Probably was a cismontanus.
We did not find our target bird (Am. Tree Spa.) but we did see a good Harris
Sparrow with a bold black bib and many Fox Sparrows. It seems that the
weather may have pushed Fox Sparrows in to the northern border area where we
were birding today.

Hi,
I hope this commentary is viewed as meritorious - I've been a bit more
active on the listserve this week than past months.
Okay, Billy Leonard told me where he thought I would find juncos -
adjacent to Leopold SLOUGH - the Wood Ducks love the water and acorns!
Half way around, guess what I saw? I saw an Eastern Phoebe eating a
tallow seed!!
Furthermore, around 1 PM, the sun came out and it got rather warm,
relatively speaking. I was on the east side of the pond unit, again
hoping for a wayward junco and kept hearing Yellow-rumped Warblers.
There were 10-15 flying out of the trees along the drainage canal over
the edged of the cut grass along the side of our 5 acre crawfish pond
"fly catching" like crazy.
When Bill F. birded during a week ago Tuesday, both of us darn near
froze, but there were over 50 Tree Swallows on top of the big ponds
feeding on something. Go figure.
And, for what it's worth, I made an effort to look for insectivores
today and found 5 Ruby-crowned Kinglets, 1 Hermit Thrush, 1
Blue-headed Vireo, 3 Orange-crowned Warblers, 25+ Yellow-rumped
Warblers, 2 Pine Warblers, and 2 Common Yellowthoats. I can't say much
about Golden-crowned Kinglets because I really cannot pick up their
call notes - yet.
Good Birding, Jay H.

Subject: Comments on Winter Hummingbird Report...
From: Stacy Peterson <SJPeterson(AT)AOL.COM>

----INCLUDING text/plain MIME SECTION----
HUMNET & LABIRD,
I'd like to offer a few extra notes to complement the excellent work done by
Tom Sylvest with the winter hummer tallies. My numbers don't exactly jive
with his in every case, but when you're dealing with 1/2 a thousand votes,
'er, I mean birds, I could easily be off by a couple. Probably just some
hanging chads...
Here's how the species / groups break down so far:
345 Selasphorus
82 Black-chinned
37 Buff-bellied
21 Calliope
1 Broad-billed
486 Total western hummers
A few tidbits:
St. Tammany Parish continues to lead the group with 102 birds (82
Selasphorus, 12 Black-chinned, 3 Buffies, & 5 Calliopes). The next closest
Parishes are East Baton Rouge (66) and Lafourche (64).
The honors for most birds per town goes to Baton Rouge (65 total). Covington
comes in second with 47 birds.
The towns of Baton Rouge (6) and St. Gabriel (5) combined account for over
1/2 the total Calliopes in the state.
Lafourche Parish (12) alone accounts for 1/3 of the total Buff-bellied
reports -- and we all know who to blame (oops -- thank) for that. : - )
I should be able to update the maps by this weekend.
Congratulations, Louisiana, on a very successful winter hummer season.
Best birding,
--Stacy
