Dark Light

Cedar Waxwing

The lushes of the bird world, Cedar Waxwings love fruit and berries so much, they are known to get intoxicated or even die from overripe berries.

Belted Kingfisher

I had no idea, but these birds actually make a nest burrow in the dirt bank near water, which can be as long as 1 to 8 feet!

Blue Jay

I'm noisy and kind of aggressive, but I love acorns and I helped spread oak trees after the last glacial period. You're welcome!

Northern Cardinal

You know me as the Virginia State Bird, but you might also know me as the bird that keeps attacking my own reflection in your window. (I can't help it! It's hormones!)
