Without flapping, it traces a leisurely, rising circle. Except for Northern Pintails. But its song belies a rather bloodthirsty feeding habit.
But its song belies a rather bloodthirsty feeding habit.
Putting out a feeder is easy.
The ducks seem oblivious to the cold, even as they stand on ice-covered lakes and streams. This nondescript bird steps off a small boulder right into the torrent, and begins to peer under water. Why does the American Dipper dip? What is the connection between the blood-curdling roar of a Tyrannosaurus rex and the gentle song of a robin?
The harsh call of a silvery-white seabird rips the air. The Tundra Swan is a bit smaller.
Unrivalled among these is the majestic Gyrfalcon, a regal visitor from the Arctic where it nests. Should it go down headfirst or tailfirst?
And the rewards of feeding birds in your yard are mutual: smaller birds, which have high energy demands, benefit greatly from the food you provide during the colder months.
Although many other vertebrates avoid ants because of their stings or noxious chemical deterrents, the Northern Flicker is known to have ingested over five thousand ants in one sitting. Ravens often travel in pairs, while crows are seen in larger groups. The Common Murre is among the few species of birds that can fly under water.
The Black Oystercatcher is completely dependent on the marine shoreline for food, even in winter, when waves hit the rocks with awesome force.
The expected winter birds flutter past: chickadees, juncos, robins, even the lovely Varied Thrush.
But throughout history, the owl has received mixed reviews.
Unrivalled among these is the majestic Gyrfalcon, a regal visitor from the Arctic where it nests. Movie-makers love to add bird sounds to a film, to evoke a mood or set a scene. Learning to tell these LBBs apart can be really frustrating for novice birdwatchers. Why does the American Dipper dip? And you often find them together in winter. The swallows that make mud nests in spring and catch flying insects all summer are now far south in Mexico, and Central and South America.
Just for a LARK, MARTIN and JAY decided to have a SWALLOW.
A clean feeder is a life-and-death matter to some birds. The wren was protected the rest of the year.
A clean feeder is a life-and-death matter to some birds. One crow is just a crow.
And you often find them together in winter. Winter brings wondrous birds. The Black Oystercatcher is completely dependent on the marine shoreline for food, even in winter, when waves hit the rocks with awesome force.
Is that big black bird a crow or a raven?
