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.
