In winter over much of the continent, flocks of Dark-eyed Juncos can be found around woodland edges and suburban yards, feeding on the ground, making ticking calls as they fly up into the bushes. East of the plains, the Dark-eyed Juncos are all gray and white, but in the West, they come in various color patterns, with reddish-brown on the back, sides, or both; some of these were once regarded as different species. The forms have separate ranges in summer, but in winter, several types may occur in the same flock in parts of the West.
