Dark-eyed Junco Range Map
The Dark-eyed Junco breeds from Alaska and central Yukon to Labrador and Newfoundland, south to central coastal California, in the mountains to eastern California, central Arizona, and western Texas, southern Alberta, northern and east-central Minnesota, central Michigan, southern New England, and in the Appalachian Mountains to northern Georgia and northwestern South Carolina; also in the Black Hills. Winters from central and south coastal Alaska, coastal British Columbia and across southern Canada south to Mexico, the Gulf Coast and northern Florida. The Dark-eyed Junco occurs from sea level to timberline in a variety of wooded habitats that have openings with dense herbaceous ground cover, including coniferous and deciduous forests, forest edges, woodland clearings, stream borders, open woodlands, brushy cover bordering mountain meadows, and old burns. Avoids deep forest interiors in favor of woodland edges and openings. In winter, prefers weedy fields but also inhabits open woodlands, hedgerows, suburbs and farmyards.
