Backyard Birds of The United States and Canada can vary throughout regions and territories. Yet, some of your avian friends are almost ubiquitous.
The American robin, Downy woodpecker, Great horned owl and more, stretch from border to border. Into Mexico and well into Canada.
Some are year round guests while others visit us during the winter months.
Still, some visit as they pass through.
You may not always see or hear your backyard birds, but they are there.
While some birds are common and stretch the North American continent, others are regional like the Northern Cardinal and Varied thrush.
Still, not all of these species visit your yards and gardens, but are common enough to be visable.
Many of our birds are indeed migrators,
They are here today and gone tomorrow.
Others make summer homes in your yard and gardens.
We go out of our way to attract hummingbirds.
Special habitats are required to attract certain species like the Eastern bluebird.
Not every bird listed is a common bird, but to some it may be and still to others it may be a species to attract or learn a little about.
You can help attract these and other birds by planting a garden or gardens to attract wildlife.
Gardening for wildlife is a growing trend because we enjoy birds, butterflies and other forms of life.
When you understand what to feed and plant to attract birds to your yard and habitats you are well on your way.
It doesn't matter if you are experienced or a novice, learning something about your neighbors is always a good thing.
This list is in alphabetical order and will continue to grow as time allows.
If there is a bird you would like to see added, please feel free to contact me.
