Fifty different birds have been sighted in the Eugene Masonic Cemetery. They range from the American Crow and American Robin to the Yellow Rumped Warbler. Some are permanent residents and others are migrant (spring and fall). Woodpeckers, such as the Downy Woodpecker, the Red-breasted Nuthatch and the Northern Flicker create holes in trees called cavities. Other birds such as the Western Screech-owl, the Red-breasted Sapsucker and the Blackcapped Chickadee build their nests in existing holes and are called secondary cavity nesters. Other animals such as, raccoons, bats and honeybees also dwell in the cemetery's tree cavities.
