Cardinalis cardinalis | The cardinal’s short beak is adapted to its diet of seeds, insects, and berries. While it’s common at home bird feeders, it visits woodland thickets to find a more varied food source.

Junco hyemalis | On apps like Cornell University’s Merlin Bird ID, you can listen to the Junco’s metallic trilling song, used to defend territory or find a mate.

Archilochus colubris | As hummingbirds hover beside tubular flowers, they beat their wings an impressive 50 times per second. Hummingbirds also feed on small insects that they capture in mid air.

Icterus galbula | The female oriole weaves a bag-shaped nest with materials including plant fibers, pieces of bark, hair, plant down, and mosses. She attaches this nest to the branch of a tall deciduous tree.
