The Guadalupe junco is a bird endemic to a single Mexican island in the Pacific, Guadalupe Island, where it survives in the last stands of cypress and pine forest. Feral goats stripped the island's vegetation for more than a century, and their eradication in 2007 has allowed the forest and the junco to begin to recover.
