Pictures of passerine birds of the order Passeriformes, also known as perching birds. These birds include sparrows, birds of paradise, bluejays, flycatchers, swallows, fairy bluebirds, warblers, mockingbirds, thrashers, kiskadees, nuthatches, finches, goldfinches, orioles, weavers, cardinals, mynas, tanagers, robins, red-billed quelas, grackles, titmouses, catbirds, redwinged blackbirds, veerys, and chickadees.
They're regularly called song birds, though they don't all sing.

|  | Catbirds
Gray catbirds can be a bit like bipolar birds, sometimes lurking in dense bushes or trees and other times being quite brave, out in the open and allowing a close approach. |

The black capped Chickadee is a common bird in the northern half of the United States and south of Canada's tundra. It is a small bird with a black cap and chin and white cheeks. |
|  | Fairy Bluebird
Pictures of Fairy Bluebirds (Irena puella). This species is usually found in pairs, but will gather in large numbers to feast on its favorite fruit, the fig. |

American or EasternGoldfinches, also known as wild canaries, are common birds throughout North America. It is the state bird of Iowa, Washington and New Jersey. |
| |  | Grackles
The common grackle is a familiar bird in North America, almost entirely east of the Rocky Mountains. It can be found most anywhere except in the western states and provinces. In the winter it migrates slightly southwest, but still extends itself to the Northeastern United States. |
|  | Great Crested Flycatchers
The Great Crested Flycatcher is slightly smaller than a Robin. Both males and females have olivey brown upper parts, a gray throat area, and a yellow belly. They sport a bright reddish brown tail and wings, which are very apparent when they take flight. They have a gray bushy crest, which is not always apparent. |

In 1973, 5 sub-species of Juncos were grouped into a single species
known as the Dark-eyed Junco. The 5 species are all close in habitat,
but differ in coloring and range. |
|  | Kiskadees
Pictures of great kiskadee birds, a bird with a brown back, a yellow belly, and a white stripe over its eye. These pictures were taken in Bermuda. |
|  | Mockingbirds
Mockingbirds are best known for their ability to imitate the sounds of
other birds and insects. Sneaky little guys! They sing while in flight
and while perched. They tend to sing more at night than other mimicking
birds, such as the thrasher. |
