It is named for Thomas Lincoln, who traveled with naturalist John James Audubon on a bird-finding trip to Labrador. -
The blue-gray White-breasted Nuthatch is named so due to its habit of smashing nuts and acorns into tree bark and poking them with its pointed bill to extract the seeds. It may be small, but its loud nasal call is hard to miss. -
While White-throated Sparrows are common during winter across the eastern and southern United States and California, they breed mainly in Canada. Use sunflower seeds and millet to lure them to your bird feeder. -
Pyrocephalus — the genus for the Vermilion Flycatcher — means “fire-headed,” certainly an apt name for the brilliant-colored male. And “flycatcher”? Yes.

With its reddish-brown cap and long tail often raised at an angle, the Rufous-capped Warbler can be found in Mexico and Guatemala, and sometimes into south Texas and Arizona. It feeds primarily on insects and favors weedy, brushy areas near woodlands. -
To deter other birds or predators, the resourceful Red-breasted Nuthatch might apply a sticky layer of tree resin to the entrance of its nest, then avoid the trap by flying directly through the opening. They can climb headfirst down tree trunks or hang upside down from branches while foraging for insects or seeds. -
Cedar Waxwings — named for the red, waxy tips on their wing feathers — are always up for a dinner party, gathering in large flocks to dine on berries and conversing in high, thin whistles. -

Colorful and insect-loving, Yellow-throated Vireos pick methodically at forest branches in search of a tasty morsel. Breeding in the eastern half of the U.S., they migrate south into Central America and extreme northern South America. -
Wilson’s Warblers always seem to be on the move, hopping branch to branch feeding on a variety of insects. The male sports a distinctive black cap, while the female has a paler-colored crown. They nest on the ground or close to it and are found throughout most of the continental U.S. and Mexico, and large parts of Canada. -
Easy to see why the French name for the Painted Bunting is Nonpareil (“without equal”). But in spite of their eye-popping plumage — red, blue, yellow, green — these seed-eating songbirds don’t flaunt the look, preferring to go unnoticed in deep brush and dense foliage. -
Up to 4.7 inches in length, the Blue-throated Hummingbird is the largest hummingbird found north of Mexico. Spot them as far north as southeastern Arizona and southern New Mexico. -
Tree Swallows — a familiar sight from Alaska and Canada to Mexico — like to nest in tree cavities or nest boxes. They feast primarily on insects and occasionally on berries, too. -
As loud as they are colorful, Blue Jays are considered intelligent and can sometimes be aggressive. Their diet is varied, and they are particularly fond of acorns. -
