[Birdtalk] Sibley mistake?

 Tim:
 
 You are correct. Sibley's guide discusses the Junco, as a sparrow. "All Juncos are small slender, clearly marked sparrows . . . "

  For those who don;'t know, the onion is a spoof paper.  If you look in your
Sibley, Dark-eyed Junco is at te eend of sparrows section, before the
Longspurs, and way before the finches.  Clearly in the correct section.

I am not at home to check my field guide, but I think this is a joke....  As
with every article ever written in the onion.

Cheers,

Tim
