What's the "verification needed" on "Yellow-eyed Junco, Junco" supposed to mean?[edit]

I've two pocket birding guides with me. Sibley _Field Guide to Birds of Western North American_ says Yellow-eyed Junco is J. phaeonotus. So does the _National Audubon Field Guide to North American Birds_.

What sort of verification is needed, and of what? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.191.151.139 (talk) 00:37, 9 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Juncus[edit]

Despite the first paragraph the plants Juncus prefer wet habitats for instance near streems. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.40.180.12 (talk) 02:38, 31 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Juncos and reeds[edit]

It's not that Juncos live near (or prefer) wetlands, but that their "tick-tick-tick" alarm call sounds like reeds clicking together in the wind. They are a New World bird, and the Spanish settlers needed a new word for a new bird.
