My wife and I visited this park on Sept
6, 2003 for a few hours. The staff
maintain two blinds at bird baths and
feeders. The grate-protected feeders
attracted a hybrid Cardinal/Pyrruloxia,
Scrub Jays, Black-throated Sparrows,
Inca Doves, etc. The campground had
migrating Baltimore Orioles and "wild"
turkeys. Hanging from the porch of the
office were several well-maintained
nectar feeders with dozens of hummers,
including Ruby-throats and probably
Black-chins, though we saw no males of
the latter. Several people were
swimming in the rapids, so there is
something here for everyone. By the
way, the hills south of Junction were
dazzling - heavily blanketed with
purple- blooming Texas Sage
(Leucophyllum frutescens) of the
Scrophulariaceae family.
