The Nature of Phenology 10/2/21: Juncos

Producers: Hazel Stark & Joe Horn
Host: Hazel Stark

While we do have year-round populations of juncos in Maine, they are joined by even more juncos who spent the summer breeding season in Canada or the Arctic Circle during the fall. So juncos locally are now forming large flocks of up to twenty-five birds, sometimes including other sparrow species, for the winter.
