PINYON JAY

A highly social bird of the lower mountain slopes of the western United States, the Pinyon Jay is specialized for feeding on pine seeds. Each jay stores thousands of seeds each year, and has such a good memory that it can remember where most of them were hidden. Population has declined roughly 80% since 1966.

CASSIN'S FINCH

Slightly larger than the other red finches in North America, the Cassin's Finch is a common bird of the western mountains. Population has declined roughly 68% since 1966.

BLACK-BILLED MAGPIE

A very conspicuous bird of western North America, the Black-billed Magpie is found in urban as well as rural areas. Its bold black-and-white pattern and long tail make it easy to identify. Population has declined roughly 26% since 1966.

RED-WINGED BLACKBIRD

One of the most abundant birds across North America, and one of the most boldly colored, the Red-winged Blackbird likes to hangout atop cattails, along soggy roadsides, and on telephone wires. Population has declined roughly 35% since 1966.

EVENING GROSBEAK

Large and brightly colored, the Evening Grosbeak is a noticeable winter visitor to bird feeders during irruption years. When a flock settles down to feed, it can clean out a surprisingly large amount of sunflower seeds in a short time.

CACTUS WREN

A conspicuous sight and sound of the Southwestern deserts, the Cactus Wren is the largest wren in North America. Although it can be found in urban backyards, it is a true bird of the desert and can survive without freestanding water. Population has declined roughly 35% since 1966.

PURPLE FINCH

The Purple Finch is a chunky, big-beaked finch that breeds in northern North America and the West Coast. Look for them in forests, where you're likely to hear their warbling song from the highest parts of the trees. Population has declined roughly 45% since 1966.

PYRRHULOXIA

BROWN-HEADED NUTHATCH

One of the most common forest birds of North America, you'll see juncos on woodland walks as well as in flocks at your feeders or on the ground beneath them. Population has declined roughly 38% since 1966.
