Pine Grosbeak (Pinicola enucleator)
&
Dark-Eyed Junco
(Junco hyemalis)
With so
many spruce and fir trees surrounding the campground, it is
easy to attract these beautiful birds! A constant stream of
both species (along with other species) feed at our seed
feeders - all day long! The birds consume between 80 and 90
pounds of sunflower seeds in two months! Many people enjoy
sitting on the veranda of the cabin, watching and
photographing these birds. The Dark-eyed Junco is of the
Oregon race. The males have a very dark head and hood which
extends to the shoulders. The females are not as
definitive, as you can tell from this photo.
