How far are certain long migrations flown!
The silhouette identifies the bird
The bird calls are the most complex sounds known
Most birds perceived are not seen but are heard
They perch in trees and up on high cliff walls
A bird named for its call, the chickadee
The mockingbird can mimic fifty calls
The eider duck spends all its life at sea
The mythical phoenix flies near the sun
The swift can sleep while it is in mid-flight
The fastest creature: peregrine falcon
The colors of the bluebird are quite bright
A notable bird is the pelican
Whose beak can hold more than its belly can
