Yellow-eyed Junco (Coronado National Forest) — Image by kenne
Yellow-eyed Juncos shuffle through the leaf litter of pine and pine-oak forests with fire in their eyes—
a bright yellow-orange gleam that instantly sets them apart from the more widespread
Dark-eyed Junco. Otherwise, they share many of the markings of the “Red-backed”
form of Dark-eyed Junco, including a gray head, two-toned bill, reddish-brown back,
and white outer tail feathers that flash when they fly. This specialty of the southwestern U.S.
also occurs in mountain forests through Mexico to Guatemala. — Source: allaboutbirds.org

A Minor Bird by Robert Frost
I have wished a bird would fly away,
And not sing by my house all day;
Have clapped my hands at him from the door
When it seemed as if I could bear no more.
The fault must partly have been in me.
The bird was not to blame for his key.
And of course there must be something wrong
In wanting to silence any song.

Yellow-eyed junco
Perched upon a broken branch —
Lights, nikon, action.

The yellow-eyed junco does not have blue coloring. However, when the photographer (me) has only a working knowledge of birds and when the lighting may give a blue cast to its gray areas, the result can offer some difficulty in identifying the bird. I appreciate the help of Mark Hengesbaugh and Edi Moore, fellow Sabino Canyon Volunteer Naturalists (SCVN), in helping me focus less on what looked like blue to see that this very active little bird is a yellow-eyed junco, not a bluebird.

Yellow-eyed Junco (Junco phaeonotus) — Image by kenne
The Yellow-eyed Junco (Junco phaeonotus) is a species of junco, small American sparrows that are most often found in the mountains of southern Arizona and New Mexico. — Image by kenne
Like most juncos, these little birds seem to enjoy jumping from limb to limb in the pine trees of Mt. Lemmon, occasionally darting to the ground. As a result, this bird can be difficult to photograph in the wild.
If you look closely at this birds legs, you will see several bands — must be a popular bird for scientific study.
