This morning, 11/2/03, I saw a SLATE-COLORED DARK-EYED JUNCO
among the increased number of juncos in our yard. It had the concaved
lower edge (breast area) of the slate gray hood; clean pink bill; no 
wing-
bars (one can hope...), and only a faint hint of brownish on the back.
This is a male, possibly a 1st winter. The lores were not significantly
darker than the rest of the face.

It doesn't look like a cismontanus because the lower margin of the gray
on the breast and the very slight amount of brown.

There were also a couple of sooty-type FOX SPARROWs, one with a
nifty collar of white-tipped feathers.
