Here's a few birds you may see in the small state...
The Ivory Gull, (Pagophila eburnea), can be seen diving into the water to catch fish. They typically enjoy very cold weather and prefer the Arctic, however they have moved to northern America. They nest on cliff edges, stony ridges, and gravel banks. They lay between 1-3 eggs in a nest made of moss, dry grass, seaweed, feathers, stalks, and/or dried mud.
The Thayer's Gull, (Larus thayeri), prefers staying along salt-water coasts rather than fresh water. They are omnivores, eating fish and sometimes even eggs or small, young birds. These birds do not dive for food, but rather skim the surface and eat while flying. Nesting is typically on cliffs with shallow nests made of moss and grass.
The American Three-Toed Woodpecker, (Picoides dorsalis), can be found in forests, most likely ones that have an abundance of insects or dead shrubs. They eat beetles and beetle's larvae. This bird nests in a hole in the trunk of a tree. Usually 3-7 eggs are raised in a nest of wood chips.
The American Oystercatcher, (Haematopus palliatus), are found in coastal regions such as sand beaches, dunes, salt marshes, and islands made of mud or sand. They are pretty remarkable when they nest because the adult digs about 5 or more shallow holes and choose 1 to line with pebbles and shells. They lay about 2-4 eggs usually on high, flat land. Their blade-like orange bills help them catch shellfish.
The Northern Hawk Owl, (Surnia ulula), are found in forests where they hunt for small rodents and small birds (especially in the winter). They hunt primarily at night, perched on a branch using amazing eyesight and hearing to detect animals. They do not build nests, but rather take over old woodpecker nests or use the hollow tree trunk tops. They lay anywhere from 3-13 eggs.
The Red Tailed Hawk, (Buteo jamaicensis), occupy many different habitats including forests, fields, grasslands, and parks. Nests are typically made from sticks, bark, and dry vegetation. They like to nest in high places such as a cliff or high in a tree. They produce 1-5 eggs. They hunt small rodents, snakes, and other birds. Their sharp talons help snatch critters running on the ground.
The Greater Prairie Chicken, (Tympanuchus cupido), are found on open prairies. They feast on leaves, seeds, buds, cultivated grains, and insects. They forage the ground for food, and nest on flat land. A group of males together is called a "lek."
