Baird's Junco
Junco bairdi Ridgway, 1883
Passerellidae — New World Sparrows
Baird's Junco, Junco bairdi, is a passerine of the New World sparrow family that breeds in the Sierra de la Laguna of southern Baja California, Mexico. It is tied to the higher parts of that mountain range, where it nests in pine-oak forest. The bird was first described by Ridgway in 1883. It is set apart within Junco by its long isolation from the rest of the genus, and it has bright yellow eyes and a bill that shows two tones.
