Redpolls

Birds of North America

Field and Stream Birds is a general term which describes types of birds that are usually found and associated with this type of environment. Although, this might not be the case all the time.

All the different types of birds in North America and elsewhere, adapt to certain kinds of habitats, that best suit their behaviour for finding food and protection.

There are many species of birds that live along fields and forest edges. These birds may seek their foods in the fields and nest in the forests or vice versa. It is not always so easy to separate one from the other. As an example there are woodpeckers, who will be found pecking to their hearts delight in one lonely tree in the middle of an open field or following a few sparse trees along a stream. These same species of birds can also be found deep in the forests, it all comes down to where they best find their food.

Another good example are warblers, with so many types in their famliy and these birds are found in many different habitats.
