Backyard Birds of the East

Get to know the birds you can find in your backyard! Here are some of the most common backyard birds, east of the Mississippi:

• The Ruby-throated Hummingbird can fly in any direction and beat its wings dozens of times each second
• The Pileated Woodpecker has a flaming red crest and is the size of a crow. It is the sixth-largest woodpecker in the world
• The Black-capped Chickadee hides food for the cold winter months and remembers where all of it is hidden!
• The lovely Eastern Bluebird perches on wires or fence posts and sings a soft, pleasing warble
• The male Scarlet Tanager is a stunning neon red, with shiny black wings and a black tail
• The Northern Cardinal is one of the most easily recognized birds: males are a brilliant red, and females and young are brown with a reddish tinge

For each bird, icons show its size, habitat, food, and nesting habits; descriptions include fun facts and behaviors to watch for. With over 200 color photographs, Backyard Birds of the East is a wonderful and fact-packed introduction to birdwatching for kids ages 5 to 9.
