The New World Warblers or Wood-Warblers are a group of small, often colorful, passerine birds and are insectivores. This group likely originated in northern Central America, where the greatest number of species and diversity between them is found.

The Great Horned Owl (Bubo virginianus), also known as the Tiger Owl (the “winged tiger” or “tiger of the air”) is a large owl native to the Americas. It is an extremely adaptable bird with a vast range and is the most widely distributed true owl in the Americas.

The Sandhill Crane (Antigone canadensis) is a species of large crane of North America and extreme northeastern Siberia. The common name of this bird refers to habitat like that at the Platte River, on the edge of Nebraska’s Sandhills on the American Plains.

The Burrowing Owl (Athene cunicularia) is a small, long-legged owl found throughout open landscapes of North and South America. Burrowing owls can be found in grasslands, rangelands, agricultural areas, deserts, or any other open dry area with low vegetation.

The Barred Owl (Strix varia) is a North American large species of owl and a member of the true owl family, Strigidae. Barred owls are largely native to eastern North America, but have expanded their range to the west coast of North America where they are considered invasive.

The Reddish Egret (Egretta rufescens) and white morph are a medium-sized heron. In the past, this bird was a victim of the plume trade and there are only 1,500 to 2,000 nesting pairs of reddish egrets in the United States where until recently received special protection.

The Eastern Bluebird (Sialia sialis) is a small North American migratory thrush found in open woodlands, farmlands, and orchards. The bright-blue breeding plumage of the male, easily observed on a wire or open perch, makes this species a favorite of birders.

The Black Skimmer (Rynchops niger) have a light graceful flight, with steady beats of their long wings. They usually feed in large flocks, flying low over the water surface with the lower mandible skimming the water catching their food by touch which gave them their namesake.
