About These Birds
American Robin
아메리카울새는 북미 전역에서 봄의 전령으로 널리 알려져 있다. 이름과 달리 실제 유럽울새와 관련이 없으며, 지빠귀과(Turdidae)에 속한다. 빨간 가슴과 노래 소리로 쉽게 알아볼 수 있다.
Downy Woodpecker
솜털딱따구리는 북아메리카에서 가장 작고 가장 널리 분포하는 딱따구리이다. 소형 체구 덕분에 더 큰 딱따구리가 접근할 수 없는 가는 나뭇가지와 잡초 줄기에서 먹이를 찾을 수 있다. 솜털딱따구리는 겨울에 혼종 무리에 합류하여 여러 종이 함께 포식자를 감시하는 이점을 얻는다.
