Common Birds, Year-Round

House Sparrow
Descended from a few birds released in New York City’s Central Park in 1850.

Black-Billed Magpie
In captivity these birds may be trained to imitate the human voice.

 
Black-Capped Chickadee
These birds usually prepare their own nesting holes in soft, rotting tree stumps.

Blue Jay
The Blue Jay frequently mimics the calls of hawks, especially the Red-shouldered Hawk.

Common Raven
These birds frequently indulge in aerial displays, with mock fighting, tumbling and other forms of acrobatics.

Great Horned Owl
The Great Horned Owl is the only animal that regularly eats skunks.

Northern Flicker
These are the only woodpeckers in North America that commonly feed on the ground, searching for ants and beetle larvae.

Ruffled Grouse
The toes of Ruffled Grouse grow projections off their sides in winter, making them look like combs. The projections are believed to act as snowshoes to help the grouse walk across snow.
