Bird introduction - Northern Mockingbird
Northern Mockingbird is the state bird of Arkansas, Florida, Mississippi, Tennessee, and Texas. This bird is widespread and well-known, but how much do you really know about it?
Bird introduction-Carolina Wren
The Carolina wren is a common species of wren that is a resident in the eastern half of the USA, the extreme south of Ontario, Canada, and the extreme northeast of Mexico. Severe winters restrict the northern limits of their range while favorable weather conditions lead to a northward extension of their breeding range. Their preferred habitat is in dense cover in forests, farm edges, and suburban areas. This wren is the state bird of South Carolina.
Bird beaks
Bird beaks, or bills, take on a variety of forms. In our common backyard birds, the Northern Cardinal has a thick cone-shaped beak while the Ruby-throated Hummingbird has a long and pointed beak. The Black-capped Chickadee has a tiny, short beak while the Curve-billed Thrasher has a long and curved beak, as its name suggests. The diversity of beak shapes in birds is remarkable and every beak tells you many stories about its possessor.
BIRD MIRGATION
As we are in the middle of fall migration, many migratory birds are moving southward to their wintering grounds. In my favorite local birding spots in North Central Florida, there are increasing records of migrants, including some very beautiful warblers such as Magnolia and Blackburnian Warblers. While it is nice to see resident species such as Northern Cardinals and Blue Jays, it has always been more exciting for us to find migratory birds.
