Eye-color of Juncos: a Correction
I find the birds I called Junco phoeonotus dorsalis, on page 116 of the May CONDOR, are Junco phoeonotus caniceps.
We only had the 1910 Check-List, and Bailey's Hand-Book, with us in the field, and could not decide which subspecies the brown-eyed bird was, eventually deciding on dorsalis largely on account of the range as given in the Check-List.
Ridgway's Manual, however, proves all my birds to be caniceps, which he rightly gives full specific rank.
