Bald Eagle

Bald Eagles basically steal food from other birds and sometimes mammals, instead of doing the work themselves. Fitting mascot for the United States?

Eastern Whippoorwill

I can't in good conscience have people camp here in the summer knowing that the Whippoorwill will be whooping ALL NIGHT LONG. Seriously. It's a bit much.

Dark-eyed Junco

Eastern Kingbird

These birds got their name because they are super aggressive with each other and other species defending their nests. In addition they have a hidden crown of yellow on their head which is only visible when they attack.
