Northern Cardinal ~ Blue Jay ~ Cedar Waxwing ~ No. American Birds by Ghirin 1.0.0

North American Birds by Ghirin

Bright red, male northern cardinals (Cardinalis cardinalis) are found over most of North America and have been introduced to Bermuda and Hawaii.

The cedar waxwing (Bombycilla cedrorum) derives its name from two sources: the reddish waxy tips on some of the wing feathers and the bird's fondness for the cones of the eastern red cedar. Cedar waxwings are found in North America and prefer a diet of fruit. They also eat insects during the breeding season.

The blue jay (Cyanocitta cristata), commonly found in wooded areas of eastern and central North America, live in pairs or small groups.
