About These Birds
Black-cheeked Ant-tanager
黑颊唐纳雀是哥斯达黎加和巴拿马西部热带雨林的特有鸟类，分布范围极为有限。雄鸟头顶红色，颊部黑色，体羽暗红。常跟随行军蚁群活动，捕食被驱赶出来的昆虫。因栖息地受到严重破坏，被列为濒危物种。
Northern Cardinal
The northern cardinal is the state bird of seven US states, more than any other species. Unlike many songbirds, both males and females sing, often in duets. Cardinals do not migrate and their brilliant red plumage against winter snow makes them a favorite among backyard birdwatchers.
