Oak/Juniper Titmouse
Baeolophus inornatus and Baeolophus ridgwayi
Synopsis:
These two species are combined in the atlas database and maps
because, according to the scientist who originally
separated them into two species, a significant number of individuals of the
species in this northern part of their continental range
cannot be distinguished by voice, field observation, or habitat.

southern Jackson Counties.
