Dark-eyed junco, first of the season and proof that winter is on its way. Because of the brown mottling on its back, a paler patch at the throat, and what looks like a darker line through the eye, I would speculate this is a junco/white-throated sparrow cross or a descendant of one, which is kind of cool. In some of the pictures I took the brown mottling is clearly in the WT sparrow pattern and you can see striping on its head. -- source link
