Northern Wooded Swamps

57 Bird Species
Acadian Flycatcher

Acadian Flycatcher

This species is heavy-billed and long-winged compared to most other Empidonax flycatchers. Upperparts are bright olive green. The dusky-green to blackish wings show two wing bars (whitish in spring, buffy in autumn) and very long primary projection. The complete eye ring is thin and yellowish. The th more...

Length: 15 cm Wingspan: 22 cm

Alder Flycatcher

Alder Flycatcher

This species is nearly identical to Willow Flycatcher. Alder and Willow Flycatchers were once considered the same species, Traill's Flycatcher. The two are best distinguished by voice. Upperparts are olive, with darker grayish tones on head. The blackish wings show two whitish wing bars and fairly lo more...

Length: 13 cm Wingspan: 20 cm

Baikal Teal

Baikal Teal

This Asian species could be overlooked in a flock of similar Green-winged Teal. Male: Striking head pattern is distinctive, with dark crown, green nape, and buffy face with bold black line extending down from the eye. The breast is pinkish with black spots. The sides are gray with vertical white bord more...

Length: 38 cm Wingspan: 51 cm

Barrow's Goldeneye

Barrow's Goldeneye

A compact diving duck with a puffy head and short thick bill. The forehead is extremely steep; sometimes extending forward from the base of the bill. This feature is often the most reliable for distinguishing female and young birds from the similar Common Goldeneye. Male: Black head with purple iride more...

Length: 41 cm Wingspan: 76 cm

Black-and-white Warbler

Black-and-white Warbler

This warbler is recognized by its boldly streaked pattern and by its unusual foraging habits. The bill is fairly long and slightly decurved. Upperparts are black with white streaks. Underparts are white with black streaks. The crown is black with a central white stripe. Adult Male: Distinguished by t more...

Length: 11 cm Wingspan: 22 cm

Black-backed Woodpecker

Black-backed Woodpecker

Like the American Three-toed Woodpecker, this species has only three toes. Solid black upperparts, with white outer tail feathers, fine white bars on the primaries, and a bold white line below the eye. Underparts are white with black barring on the sides and flanks. Males and juveniles have a yellow more...

Length: 24 cm Wingspan: 43 cm

Black-billed Cuckoo

Black-billed Cuckoo

This species is distinguished from the other two cuckoo species in North America by its all-dark bill, the small white tips on the tail feathers, and, at close range, by its red eye ring. The upperparts are dull gray-brown, with a slight olive cast. The underparts are dull white. Juvenile: Similar to more...

Length: 28 cm Wingspan: 38 cm

Blackpoll Warbler

Blackpoll Warbler

While fairly distinctive in alternate plumage, young Blackpoll Warblers in their first fall plumage are very similar to young Bay-breasted and Pine warblers. In all plumages, legs and feet show at least some yellow or yellow-orange. The legs and feet of Bay-breasted and Pine are usually all dark. Lon more...

Length: 13 cm Wingspan: 22 cm

Blue Jay

Blue Jay

This is a fairly large blue and white bird with a distinctive crest and a sturdy all dark bill. It has a whitish face with black forehead and eye line. Crest and nape blue. Black collar on chest extending onto head. Back deep blue; chin and belly whitish gray. Wings and tail light blue with dark barr more...

Length: 28 cm Wingspan: 41 cm

Bohemian Waxwing

Bohemian Waxwing

This larger, bulkier relative of Cedar Waxwing is generally found farther north. Gray overall with brown wash on the head. The bushy crest and black mask are similar to Cedar Waxwing, but with less white around the mask. The throat is black. White and yellow tips on the wing feathers create stripes r more...

Length: 16 cm Wingspan: 33 cm

Brewer's Blackbird

Brewer's Blackbird

Males in alternate plumage are iridescent black, with a purplish sheen on the head and breast, greenish gloss on back, wings, and tail, pale whitish eye, medium-length tail, and thin, pointy bill. Basic plumaged males generally lack glossiness and have pale brown in the throat and supercilium. Irides more...

Length: 22 cm Wingspan: 39 cm

Canada Jay

Canada Jay

Juveniles are sooty with pale gray malar. Adults: gray back and tail, pale gray underparts. Short, black bill, black legs, long tail.

Length: 29 cm Wingspan: 45 cm

Canada Warbler

Canada Warbler

Adult male is plain gray above, bright yellow below, with necklace of black streaks on breast, bold pale eye ring, yellow throat and supraloral spot, black face fading into gray head, and white undertail coverts. Female is similar but slightly faded, with faint black streaks below, and lacks black on more...

Length: 13 cm Wingspan: 20 cm

Cape May Warbler

Cape May Warbler

Alternate adult male has mostly yellow face, with a large chestnut auricular patch, blackish crown, thin black bill, yellow underparts with thick black streaks, greenish back with dark streaks, greenish wings with white shoulder panel, yellow rump, and buffy-white undertail coverts.

Length: 32 cm Wingspan: 43 cm

Common Yellowthroat

Common Yellowthroat
