We created this film to entertain, educate and inspire student and public audiences.

Highlighting ~100 years of biological research on one of the most common and abundant, yet fascinating and diverse, groups of songbirds—the juncos!

Each of the film's six chapters reveal the process of science, exploring key themes in biology along the way.

Teach with juncos! Leading-edge, standards-aligned curriculum resources and accessible versions are available for free.

...We travel to habitats all over North America and learn in just a few spellbinding minutes how much a rapidly evolving bird can teach us – from how the body works to how new species form...
