About These Birds
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.
Black-headed Grosbeak
The Black-headed Grosbeak is a large, robust finch; males have a striking black head, cinnamon-orange breast, and black-and-white wings, while females are streaked brown. It breeds in open woodland, forest edges, and riparian habitats of western North America, migrating to Mexico and Central America in winter. It uses its powerful bill to crack open seeds and eats insects, berries, and fruits.
