About These Birds
Black-faced Grosbeak
The Black-faced Grosbeak is a medium-sized, stocky bird with olive-green upperparts, yellow underparts, a thick gray bill, and a distinctive black face and throat. It inhabits humid tropical forests and forest edges from southern Mexico through Central America to Panama. It forages in the canopy and midstory, feeding on seeds, berries, and insects, often in mixed-species flocks.
Rotkardinal
Der Rotkardinal ist der Wappenvogel von sieben US-Bundesstaaten – mehr als jede andere Art. Anders als bei vielen Singvögeln singen sowohl Männchen als auch Weibchen, häufig im Duett. Kardinäle sind Standvögel, und ihr leuchtend rotes Gefieder vor winterlichem Schnee macht sie zu einem Liebling der Vogelbeobachter im eigenen Garten.
