🐦Dark-eyed junco

Junco hyemalis (Linnaeus, 1758)

Mörkögd junco (Junco hyemalis) är en mycket vanlig mörk nordamerikansk tätting i familjen amerikanska sparvar. Fågelns utseende varierar mycket och artgränserna både inom arten och gentemot dess närmaste släkting gulögd junco är inte helt klarlagda. Arten är en sällsynt men återkommande gäst i Europa, bland annat med ett fynd i Stockholms skärgård i maj 2017, och ett fynd i Bosund, Larsmo i maj 2024[källa behövs]. IUCN kategoriserar den som livskraftig.
