American Woodcock

How much walk can a Woodcock walk if a Woodcock could spot worms? WELL, Let me show you the cutest and weirdest bird walk that I've found so far...

Great Horned Owl

Crows harass hawks, but they specifically will harass Great Horned Owls - for hours on end, as this owl is a crow's most dangerous predator.

Song Sparrow

The coloring of this sparrow varies greatly across North America, so learning it's song is also a good way to tell it apart from others.

Cooper’s Hawk

"In a study of more than 300 Cooper’s Hawk skeletons, 23 percent showed old, healed-over fractures in the bones of the chest, especially of the furcula, or wishbone." most likely from flying quickly through vegetation to catch other birds. (from allaboutbird.org)

Carolina Chickadee

Another bird that is all gussied up and ready for a night on the town (and is also TOO cute!)

Brown Thrasher

It's many variations of continuous songs (more than 1,100 types) can drive you bonkers almost as much as a mockingbird can.

Lion’s Mane

Is it a mushroom, or is it a hedgehog clinging to a tree? Well, in this photo is might be either, on a counter top.
