    Painted Bunting

    $42.00 – $1,332.00
    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.

  • Northern Cardinal_001

    $42.00 – $1,332.00
    With its stunning red color, the male Northern Cardinal is a real showstopper, complemented by the female’s red accents on wings, tail, and crest. Find this flashy songbird across the eastern half of the U.S. and Mexico.

  • Lucifer Hummingbird

    $42.00 – $1,332.00
    While the male Lucifer Hummingbird sports a purple throat and long narrow tail, the female complements its green back and head feathers with a buff-colored breast and short tail. Both have the characteristic curved bill.

  • Lincoln’s Sparrow

    $42.00 – $1,332.00
    Streaky brown, with a buffy eye-ring, Lincoln’s Sparrows are known to be a bit shy. This medium-sized, insect-eating bird forages near or on the ground — and builds its nest there too. It is named for Thomas Lincoln, who traveled with naturalist John James Audubon on a bird-finding trip to Labrador.

  • Least Flycatcher_003

    $42.00 – $1,332.00
    Least Flycatchers feed mainly on insects. Small but feisty, they are territorial and not afraid to let bigger birds know who’s boss.

  • Indigo Bunting_001

    $42.00 – $1,332.00
    The bright blue of the Indigo Bunting breeding male is sure to attract attention. And so does its melodious song. The brownish female sees to homemaking duties, building nests and incubating eggs.

  • Inca Dove

    $42.00 – $1,332.00
    Inca Dove

  • House Wren

    $42.00 – $1,332.00
    Found from Canada to South America, House Wrens love a pile of brush — which provides cover and, with luck, a menu of insects. This relatively plain brown bird is small with a cheerful song, but it’s not afraid to pick a fight with its much larger neighbors.

  • Gray Catbird_002

    $42.00 – $1,332.00
    The Gray Catbird, like its relative the mockingbird, can copy the sounds of other species. Its own call brings to mind a cat’s meow.

  • Downy Woodpecker_003

    $42.00 – $1,332.00
    The Downy Woodpecker has a fondness for insects and forages not only on tree trunks and branches but also on shrubs and weed stalks. Widespread, this small, black and white bird can be found across most of the U.S. and Canada.

  • Dark-eyed Junco_002

    $42.00 – $1,332.00
    Abundant across North America, Dark-eyed Juncos are apt to nest and forage on or near the ground. Their white outer tail feathers flash as they take flight.

  • Common Grackle_002

    $42.00 – $1,332.00
    Never ones to be labeled picky eaters, the large, dark, iridescent Common Grackles will feast on insects, seeds, berries, nuts, earthworms, corn and other crops — even garbage. And they are a noisy bunch, roosting in very large communal flocks.
