    Hi Christine,

    North America has several races of Dark-eyed Junco. Ours here in the East, “Slate-colored Junco,” is a widespread and well-documented breeder in the Northeast and down the Appalachian chain. So yours are right where they should be. And, yeah, they’re indeed ground-nesters. Here’s some more info: http://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Dark-eyed_Junco/id

    Enjoy!

    Best,
    Bryan

    I live in Stannard and we have a pair of juncos nesting on the ground in a clump of long bedstraw and other vegetation. The nest contains 3 eggs…when I looked this up in our Audubon ID book, it mentioned that rarely do juncos stay east of the rockies during the summer. Do you agree with this or is there some other trend going on? Thank you! Hope you’re having a wonderful trip. Chris
