White-winged Junco
Leon Bright
COBirders-- I’m not an expert, but I’ll chime in anyway. For the past couple of decades at least, I believe White-winged Juncos have been quite scarce in the Arkansas River valley and probably elsewhere in southern Colorado. I can think of several people who are experts, who could help us out with any occurrence patterns there might be in our state’s SE quadrant. Maybe others will help with other parts of the state.

For what it is worth, on eBird I came up with exactly 21 Dark-eyed Junco (white-winged) individuals reported so far in 2016 anywhere in the world. All 21 were reported in Colorado and 14 were by Ted Floyd along the Mesa Trail in Boulder Mountain Parks on 1/26.
It would be fairly easy to duplicate that analysis (at least for Januarys on a year by year basis) going backwards in eBird data. It looks like there were 15 on eBird in January 2010, again all in Colorado.

I spent some time looking at juncos at Ira and Tammy's, Red Rocks Trading Post and Morrison Park yesterday. Not a single WW could be found and I looked hard, especially at the 100 or so at Red Rocks. I think this is the 1st winter visit there without at least one in the 4 years I've been living in the Metro area. What gives?
