Washington's population nests on Wrangel Island in Russia, northwest of the Bering Strait, and winters on the deltas of the Samish, Stillaguamish, and Skagit Rivers.
Its skillful hunting is enhanced by exceptional sight and acute hearing.
And how do songbirds sit on metal perches with no problem? And you often find them together in winter. The finches nest high in the mountains in summer, and roam the countryside in large flocks in winter. Noted as a table delicacy, the four-foot long Wild Turkey was hunted by both Native Americans and the Europeans who populated our country. Only a few are harmful. Suddenly a flock of hundreds of birds rises from the ground beneath the apple trees, swarming in tight formation, wing-tip to wing-tip.

Does the image of a frozen birdbath bring to mind a small yellow bird with ice skates?
One piercing, cheerful yelp catches your ear. Male Raggiana Birds of Paradise perform elaborate displays to attract females, sometimes even hanging upside-down with their wings pointing upward. And the birds sound different, too! Yet one immense field appears snow-covered, blanketed in white.
Small forest birds, such as nuthatches and creepers may spend the night huddled together in tree cavities.
And the birds sound different, too! Winter brings wondrous birds.
When a Black-capped Chickadee visits your feeder, you may find its cousin, the Chestnut-backed Chickadee, tagging along.
So they called this one a Robin, too. So they called this one a Robin, too. As the winter sun sinks over the Coulee Lakes, hundreds of Gray-crowned Rosy-Finches suddenly appear, an undulating cloud that swarms into the upper levels of the basalt cliffs. One crow is just a crow. The Chestnut-back has a black head with a large white cheek patch, but its back and sides are a rich chestnut brown.
Such labels are not used by ornithologists, but they add a bit of fun to the study of birds. One piercing, cheerful yelp catches your ear.
The ducks seem oblivious to the cold, even as they stand on ice-covered lakes and streams. The prey may change hands several times, perhaps from harrier to Peregrine to eagle. So they called this one a Robin, too. Winter is a great time to travel to Latin America for birdwatching.
In the Amazon, heat and humidity weigh upon you and a cacophony of birdcalls surrounds you. Urban owls escape the harsh weather of northern Canada or the Cascade or Rocky Mountains, spending the winter in somewhat milder climes. The Twelve Days of Christmas began as a French secular love song. Male Raggiana Birds of Paradise perform elaborate displays to attract females, sometimes even hanging upside-down with their wings pointing upward.
How did the familiar American Robin get its name? Just for a LARK, MARTIN and JAY decided to have a SWALLOW. The prey may change hands several times, perhaps from harrier to Peregrine to eagle. Their lives and ours depend on the daily transformation of sunlight, through photosynthesis, into energy available to sustain us.
