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-backed Grosbeak
The Black-backed Grosbeak is a large, striking finch found along forest edges and scrubby montane slopes on the eastern Andes from Colombia to Bolivia and Argentina. Males have a black back and head with golden-yellow underparts and a massive bill. It feeds on seeds, berries, and insects, often foraging in the canopy.
