Guadalupe Junco

Junco insularis

The Guadalupe Junco (Junco insularis) is a small, sparrow-like bird native to Guadalupe Island off the west coast of Mexico. It is characterized by its dark gray plumage, pinkish bill, and white outer tail feathers. These birds are typically found in the island's scrubby vegetation, where they forage for seeds and insects. The Guadalupe Junco is known for its distinctive song, often heard in the early morning and evening hours. Due to its limited range and small population, the species is vulnerable to habitat loss and introduced predators.
