Species on the Jornada have been “lumped” in some cases because of interbreeding but subspecies remain identifiable. Codes exist for both species and subspecies as follows:
*2 Species: Dark-eyed Junco DEJU
Subspecies: Oregon Junco ORJU
Grey Headed Junco GHJU
Slated-colored Junco SCJU (eastern, rare)
*3 Species: Northern Flicker NOFL
Subspecies: Red-shafted Flicker RSFL
Yellow-shafted Flicker YSFL (eastern, rare)
*4 Species Yellow-rumped warbler YRWA
Subspecies: Audubon’s Warbler AUWA
Myrtle Warbler MYWA (eastern, rare)
Other species have been split creating a new name for 2 species:
*1 old species: Brown Towhee BRTO
new species: Canyon Towhee CATO
California Towhee (found only in California)
