"That's not a boiyd, Billy, that's a bird."
"Well, it choiyped like a boiyd!"

The Red-Headed Woodpecker...

...uses its super-long, sticky tongue to catch insects to eat.
It pecks to hunt for insects or claim territory.

The American Robin...

...is one of the few birds to eat worms (YUM).
When you see it on the lawn with its head tipped,
that's what it's looking for.

The Red-winged Blackbird

The males wear this fancy plumage to impress the lady blackbirds.
Females are actually brown.

Blue Jays...

...love to stand around in the trees and scream at each other.
So do their dark blue western cousins, the Steller's Jays.

The American Crow

Did you know that a flock of crows is called a MURDER of crows?

The Spotted Owl

Can you swivel your head around to look backwards?
The owl can!

The Northern Oriole...

...gave its name and bright colors to Baltimore's baseball team.

The Red-Breasted Nuthatch...

...likes to walk down trees head first!
(pronounced nut hatch, though they hatch from eggs, not nuts.)
