Congaree Swamp NM, SC
Friday afternoon around 3:45 pm I closely watched a Dark-eyed Junco, along
the service road that bisects the high and low boardwalks. It had prominent
white wingbars exactly like the "White-winged" ssp. and was an apparent male
by its uniformly dark slate color. I've seen a lot of juncos in various
eastern states, but this was my first with wingbars...anybody know what
percentage of eastern birds show this mark?
The swamp is also full of Winter Wrens --I saw 6 from the low boardwalk.
