[edit] Key for map needed

The map image is obviously a distribution map of some kind but what do the different colors mean? Is it color coded by intensity of range, different junco species, seasons ...? Please add this info. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.113.167.160 (talk) 17:58, 6 May 2007 (UTC).

One of the things that the WikiProject Birds guidelines specify is that on range/distribution maps, blue should be used to represent the winter-only range of the species, yellow for summer-only, and green for year-round areas. If I had diverted from those guidelines I would have added a legend to the map, but I think that as long as the map is using an accepted standard a legend would just clutter it up - especially when most people just look at the thumbnail. If the reader is confused about the what the colors mean, they can always click on the map and I've added an explanation of the colors to the image's description. 'Card 20:14, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
