| 1994-025 | A | Dark-eyed Junco (White-winged) | 1 | near Front Street, Marion | Plymouth | 4/1/1994 | 4/1/1994 | R. Harlow, B. Evill | 13 |
This individual was mist-netted, measured, and photographed. Although some “Slate-colored” Juncos may have wingbars, this bird also exhibited the tail pattern, body color, and dark lores of aikeni, convincing eight Committee members of the correctness of the identification. This represents a unique and surprising record for Massachusetts, since there are no other records of this race east of Michigan (AOU 1998).
