25 Beautiful Birds of Winter | North America

Winter is an amazing time of the year, adding to the magic of this chilly season are some of the most beautiful birds. In this video, I’d like to show some of the winter birds of North America.

I briefly talk about a few Owls such as The Great Horned Owl, The Barred Owl, Great Grey Owl, and the Northern Saw-whet Owl. Some winter birds blend in extremely well with the snow such as the aptly named Snowy owl and the Willow Ptarmigan that’s purely white from head to toe. The exact opposite but with very intricately patterned plumage the Ruffed Grouse. This wouldn’t be a video about winter birds without mentioning the Snow Bird itself the Dark-eyed Junco, one of the most pleasant of sparrows and a sure sign winter has arrived. This also wouldn’t be a Lesley the Bird Nerd video without talking about the rascally, spirited, and true beauty of the Blue Jay. Another vibrant bird the Northern Cardinal with its beaming red in males and the elegant charming female. The not as common in the United States but found throughout Canada is the Pine Grosbeak, look for large flocks of up to 20 or 30 multicolor members foraging on fruit and seeds. Then the travelers from the Arctic like the Common Redpoll and the striking nomadic Bohemian Waxwing. The Evening Grosbeak which many go many years without showing up. Then the tiny and tough ones like Black-Capped Chickadee, Tufted Titmouse, The Red and the White-breasted Nuthatch, and the Golden Crowned Kinglet. A widespread and common backyard visitor The Downy Woodpecker is such an appealing little bird. The friendly and extremely tame-like oversized lookalike of the Chickadee is the Canada Jay also known as the Grey Jay.

If you have a sick or injured bird in your possession I can not help this bird in any way it is strongly advised to contact a local vet or wildlife official before any decisions are made. It is very easy to do more harm than good when handling any wildlife.
