| he male Northern | |
| Cardinal is perhaps responsible for getting more people to open | |
| up a field guide than any other bird. They�re a perfect | |
| combination of familiarity, conspicuousness, and style: a shade | |
| of red you can�t take your eyes off. Even the brown females | |
| sport a sharp crest and warm red accents. Cardinals don�t | |
| migrate and they don�t molt into a dull plumage, so they�re | |
| still breath taking in winter�s snowy backyards. In summer, | |
| their sweet whistles are one of the first sounds of the morning. | |

| lack-capped | |
| Chickadee:A bird almost universally considered �cute� thanks to | |
| its oversized round head, tiny body, and curiosity about | |
| everything, including humans. The chickadee�s black cap and bib; | |
| white cheeks; grey back, wings, and tail; and whitish underside | |
| with buffy sides are distinctive. Its habit of investigating | |
| people and everything else in its home territory, and quickness | |
| to discover bird feeders, make it one of the first birds most | |
| people learn | |

| probably the most common hawk in North America. If you�ve got | |
| sharp eyes you�ll see several individuals on almost any long car | |
| ride, anywhere. Red-tailed Hawks soar above open fields, slowly | |
| turning circles on their broad, rounded wings. Other times | |
| you�ll see them atop telephone poles, eyes fixed on the ground | |
| to catch the movements of a vole or a rabbit, or simply waiting | |
| out cold weather before climbing a thermal updraft into the sky. | |

| songbird is familiar to many people, with its perky crest; blue, | |
| white, and black plumage; and noisy calls. Blue Jays are known | |
| for their intelligence and complex social systems with tight | |
| family bonds. Their fondness for acorns is credited with helping | |
| spread oak trees after the last glacial period. | |

| binocular view field, the Cedar Waxwing is a silky, shiny | |
| collection of brown, grey, and lemon-yellow, accented with a | |
| subdued crest, rakish black mask, and brilliant-red wax droplets | |
| on the wing feathers. In fall these birds gather by the hundreds | |
| to eat berries, filling the air with their high, thin, whistles. | |
| In summer you�re as likely to find them flitting about over | |
| rivers in pursuit of flying insects, where they show off | |
| dazzling aeronautics for a forest bird. | |

| is | |
| handsome little finch, the state bird of New Jersey, Iowa, and | |
| Washington, is welcome and common at feeders, where it takes | |
| primarily sunflower and nyjer. Goldfinches often flock with Pine | |
| Siskins and Common Redpolls. Spring males are brilliant yellow | |
| and shiny black with a bit of white. Females and all winter | |
| birds are more dull but identifiable by their conical bill; | |
| pointed, notched tail; wing bars; and lack of streaking. During | |
| molts they look bizarrely patchy. | |
