Dark-eyed Junco

Blue-eyed Junco?

This dark-eyed Junco has a weird mutation which causes its eye to be blue instead of a dark-brown or black. Some juvenile juncos will have a pale brown eye for a couple of months after they fledge, but I haven’t seen this blue-eyed mutation before (and didn’t see any literature which describes this mutation either).

Interesting observation about the blue-eyed Junco. I’ll keep to keep a lookout for one.
