[EBB Sightings] juncos

On Friday I viewed the Canadian Rocky Mountain Variant Slate-Colored Junco
in Alamden Valley of San Jose.
See Sibley -Guide to Birds page 501. 
This bird has been report on SSB for about three weeks.
It is a handsome adult male Junco. The black cap against the grey body is
striking.
