American Black Duck

American Black Duck

This large dabbling duck is very dark brown overall. Back and flank feathers lack paler margins, resulting in a less patterned appearance than most other female dabbling ducks.

American Pipit

This species is recognized by its slender build, white outer tail feathers, and constant tail-bobbing. Several subspecies occur, creating a lot of variation.

Length: 15 cm Wingspan: 25 cm

American Wigeon

American Wigeon

A chunky dabbling duck with short legs and a long tail. The distinctive head shape, characterized by a steep forehead, high forecrown, and sloped crown, is less round than most other dabbling ducks.

Length: 46 cm Wingspan: 76 cm

Baird's Sandpiper

Length: 14 cm Wingspan: 38 cm

Bald Eagle

Bald Eagle

Familiar to most as the avian symbol of the United States; adults are instantly recognizeable. They are dark brown overall with a gleaming white head and tail.

Length: 86 cm Wingspan: 183 cm

Bar-tailed Godwit

This species gets its name from the black and white barring on the tail. In flight, the upper surface of the wing is gray-brown, slightly darker on the primary coverts, and lacks a wing stripe. The Siberian race shows black and white barring on the rump and lower back, and on the underside of the win more...

Length: 37 cm Wingspan: 69 cm

Barnacle Goose

Barnacle Goose

This small goose is a rare visitor from Europe. Single birds in North America have long been presumed escapees, but there is increasing evidence that at least some are legitimate vagrants. The mostly white face contrasts with the otherwise black nape, neck, and breast. A dark line extends through the more...

Length: 58 cm Wingspan: 132 cm

Belcher's Gull

Belcher's Gull

A stocky, medium-sized, four-year gull. Relatively long yellow legs and long, straight-edged, yellow bill with black ring and red tip. Dark eye. Adult: White underparts; slaty-black upperparts.
