CHALLENGE COMPLETE
Backyard Bird Challenge Duration: July 1 - December 31, 2023
Bird Set 1
✔️1. American Robin - Male and female Robins are very similar in appearance. Though known for being worm eaters, robins have varied diets. American Robins mostly eat fruits in the fall and winter, and include more insects and worms in their spring and summer diets. You can occasionally spot tipsy robins in the late winter and early spring, thanks to fermented berries they have devoured.
Read a book with twins in it.
Rainy Day Friends - Jill Shalvis 7/1
✔️2. Downy Woodpecker - These are the smallest North American woodpeckers. The male has a distinctive red spot on the back of the head. Their diet is largely insects, but you will also see them at suet feeders in your backyard.
Read a book with a red spot on the cover.
Fool's Moon - Diane A.S. Stuckart 7/2
✔️3. American Goldfinch – This is the only finch that molts twice a year. In summer, males are a vivid yellow with a black cap and black wings. Females are a duller yellow and lack the black cap. They often feed on small-seeded plants like thistles.
Read a book where a character changes clothes more than once.
The Chosen of the Manifold - Kyle West 7/7
✔️4. House Sparrow – This bird did not exist in North America until 1851, when it was imported from Europe to combat a linden moth caterpillar infestation in New York City. It can now be found on every continent except Antarctica and is considered to be a pest species. It is not related to any other American sparrow species.
Read a book with a MC who is a pest
The Burning God - R.F. Kuang 7/19
(MC is very arrogant and makes a pest of herself with her arguing about things she doesn't know the first thing about)
✔️5. American Crow –These birds are incredibly clever, with the largest brain-to-body ratio of any bird. They not only use tools but also make them. They hold funerals for their dead. They can solve a metatool problem where each step was out of sight of the others, planning ahead three behaviors into the future. Populations of crows have different dialects, which a new crow will learn if it joins the flock.
Read a book where the MC is very good at solving problems.
Too Late - Rylie Dark 7/21
Bird Set 2
✔️6. Black Capped Chickadee - This bird's black cap and bib make it easy to identify. It has a habit of investigating humans and everything around its home territory. Chickadees usually hide seeds and other food items to eat later. They choose different spots to place each item. A Chickadee can remember thousands of food hiding places.
Read a story where the MC investigates something.
An Ear for Trouble - K.T. Lee 7/22
✔️7. House Finch - Once limited to the Western United States and Mexico, House Finches are now found from coast to coast, and as far north as southern Canada. In 1939 a few of the birds, originally captured in Santa Barbara, California, were set free on New York’s Long Island by a pet store owner. Although House Finches are well adapted to dry climates, they still need a lot of water. On especially hot days, they can consume more than their own bodyweight in fluids.
a. Read a book set in the western United States or Mexico.
Vanishing Edge - Claire Kells 7/23
✔️8. Yellow-Rumped Warbler - This is one of the most abundant birds in all of North America, and by far the most common of the 50 varieties of warbler. They are one of the first signs that spring migration is ramping up. If you see one Yellow-rumped Warbler, chances are good you'll see others. During spring and fall migration, these birds often forage in groups.
Read a book where the MC has an abundance of something
Angels Falling - Harriet Carlton 8/11
✔️9. White Breasted Nuthatch - White-breasted nuthatches have short tails, white undersides and are bluish gray on top with a dark cap. Whenever you see a bird going headfirst down a tree trunk, it’s probably a nuthatch. They are a nonmigratory bird and form long-term bonds.
Read a book where the MC spends time upside down
Angels Soaring - Harriet Carlton 8/5
✔️10. Wood Thrush - These birds do not come to feeders but frequent backyards that are near wooded areas. Unlike many songbirds, males do not practice "song matching" but instead will respond to a rival's song with a different song of their own. These birds are prone to nest parasitism by Brown Headed Cowbirds, but accept the foreign eggs and raise them as their own.
Read a book where the MC adopts a child.
Suppression - Laramie Briscoe 7/30
Bird Set 3
✔️11. Brown Headed Cowbird - This is a sturdy blackbird with an unusual approach to parenthood. Females do not build nests but use all their energy for producing eggs, sometimes over three dozen per summer. They lay their eggs in other birds’ nests, who become their chicks’ foster parents, with usually at least some of their foster parents’ chicks being victims in the process. Heavy parasitism by this species has pushed some birds to be "endangered" and has affected other populations as well.
Read a book whose title or series name has all of the letters BROWN in it.
Southern Sass and Killer Cravings - Kate Young 9/6
✔️12. House Wren - This is a very small, plain brown bird with a loud and insistent voice. Wrens will harass and peck at much larger birds, sometimes dragging eggs and young out of a nest site they want. House wrens are very famous for their rich bubbly song which is commonly heard during the nesting season.
Read a book with a character who has a rich, bubbly personality .
Resonance Surge - Nalini Singh 8/25
✔️13. Northern Cardinal - The female Northern Cardinal is one of the few female North American songbirds who sing. The male cardinal fiercely defends its breeding territory from other males - if it sees its reflection in glass surfaces, it will frequently spend hours fighting the imaginary intruder. The Northern Cardinal is the state bird of seven states.
Read a book with a female character who sings.
Craks in a Marriage - Barbara Barrett 8/14
✔️14. Golden Crowned Kinglet - These tiny birds are barely larger than a hummingbird but can survive to 40 degrees below zero. Their nest is a well-concealed hanging cup suspended from a conifer branch. Males defend their nesting territory by singing.
Read a book where the MC survives temperatures below zero.
The Witch Collector - Charissa Weaks 9/1
✔️15. Blue Jay - Both male and female Blue Jays appear to be a brilliant, lavender-blue with a dazzling pattern on the wing bars - but it is a trick of the light that makes the blue color visible. Their feathers are actually brown. Blue Jays fly very slowly compared to other birds by keeping their body and tail at the same level - a feature quite peculiar to the Jay. They particularly love to eat acorns.
Read a book where the MC does/doesn't see or do something because of a trick of the lighting.
The Choice - Nora Roberts 8/12
continued...Bird Set 4
✔️16. Dark Eyed Junco - These birds are called Snowbirds because they usually emerge in the winter season. Because of their high population (estimated at 630 million individuals!), their relative tameness, and their affinity for back yard bird feeders, the Dark-eyed Junco is one of North America's most recognized birds.
Read a book with a MC who lives in a city with a population over 5 million
Fragile - Lisa Unger 9/19
✔️17. Tufted Titmouse - This bird can be identified by its gray crest,
black forehead and bill, large, black eyes and rusty-orange flanks. When cracking open nuts and seeds, tufted titmice hold the seed in their feet and hammer them with their bill. Tufted titmice move along branches and over the ground by jumping and hopping. When flying, their flight path is direct and not undulating.
Read a book whose cover has gray, black and orange on it.
A Queen of Thieves & Chaos - K.A. Tucker 9/26
✔️18. Chipping Sparrow - Adult birds are gray below and an orangish-rust color above. The chipping sparrow is a voracious eater, particularly during the cold months, and will eat 70 times its weight in seeds during the winter. The chipping sparrow can replace the feathers on its throat and face up to six times each year.
Read a book with a character who has a voracious appetite (your interpretation).
Untethered Sky - Fonda Lee 10/7
✔️19. Red Bellied Woodpecker - The male red-bellied woodpecker displays red on both its nape and crown. In comparison, the female red-bellied woodpecker has red on its nape but not its crown. The red coloration found on the belly looks like nothing more than a light wash of red. Although they primarily eat insects and other invertebrates, they have also been known to devour small birds, fish, frogs, and bird eggs.
Read a book where a character eats fish or frog(legs).
Bound Together - Christine Feehan 9/22
✔️20. Ruby Throated Hummingbird - Ruby-throated hummingbirds are very fast flyers and are capable of beating their wings as much as 50 times per second. When constructing the small cup-shaped nest out of plant materials and spider silk, the mother hummingbird keeps it pliable. She will stomp down the base, but leave the walls of the nest slightly flexible. This will allow the nest to stretch as the baby hummingbirds grow.
Read a book whose title or series name has all of the letters RUBY in it.
Benyu Born of Ash - Katie Feavel 9/23
Bird Set 5
✔️21. Cedar Waxwing - Cedar Waxwings are named for the waxy red tips on the end of their secondary feathers. The number of wax tips and their size increase as the bird gets older. They LOVE to eat fruit, and can even survive on fruit alone for several months! Cedar Waxwings don't have a real song. Instead they make a quiet trilling or buzzing sound. They eat in shifts. One group will eat first and then moves out of the way for the next group to come in. This is very polite compared to most birds, who just try to grab what they can individually.
Read a book whose title or series name has all of the letters CEDAR in it.
Uncharted - Erin Cashman 10/22
✔️22. Baltimore Oriole - The oriole's striking orange-and-black plumage makes it one of the most recognizable North American species. Maryland has called the Baltimore Oriole its state bird since 1947, and has given it special protections since 1882—36 years before congress passed the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. The Baltimore Oriole’s basket-like hanging nest is one of the great wonders of the avian world. Over five to eight days, females weave together whatever strong fibers they can find—grass, weeds, animal hair, string—until the nest is completed.
a. Read a book with a cover that is mostly orange and black
The Burning Sky - Sherry Thomas 10/15
✔️23. Eastern Bluebird - The Eastern Bluebird was first described in 1758 by Carl Linnaeus, a Swedish naturalist and zoologist. The female Eastern Bluebird is the dominant bird in their relationship. The male will often do everything that the female wants him to do – including any home improvements to the nest and even hunting for food. Both male and female bluebirds have blue feathers on their wings with red breasts, but you can tell them apart by the color of their throats: males have a red throat, while females have a grayish-blue throat with white spots on it.
Read a book where the female is the dominant partner in a male-female relationship
Ledge - Stacey McEwan 10/9
✔️24. Pine Siskin - Pine Siskins have a fondness for the seeds of pines and other conifers like cedars, larch, hemlock, and spruce. Pine Siskins flit about in the topmost canopy of seed-bearing trees. They'll often cling upside down to branch tips to empty hanging cones of their seeds. Unusually convivial and unterritorial, they sometimes nest in loose colonies, continuing to forage in flocks away from the nests. Males sing from high perches and during circular courtship flights. Pine Siskins sometimes migrate in flocks of several thousand.
Read a book where the MC is part of a mass migration.
Imaginary Numbers - Seanan McGuire 10/25
✔️25. Rose Breasted Grosbeak - The Rose-breasted grosbeak is a large seed-eating bird in the cardinal family. Colloquially it is called "cut-throat" due to its coloration. It is primarily a foliage gleaner and can live up to 24 years in captivity. These birds are active during the day spending their time foraging in shrubs, and trees or catching insects in flight. They usually keep to the treetops and only rarely can be seen on the ground. Rose-breasted grosbeaks are serially monogamous and form pair bonds that last during the breeding season.
Read a book whose title or series name has all of the letters ROSE in it
Gone with the Whisker - Laurie Cass 10/15
Bird Set 6
✔️26. Gray Catbird - The Gray Catbird is a medium-size gray songbird with a black cap that can commonly be found across the eastern United States and Midwest. Curious and active, these birds also have a feisty side when defending their territory from intruders. Gray Catbirds exhibit impressive vocal prowess, with males able to rattle off an array of phrases featuring chirps, squeaks, whistles, whines, and even gurgles. When singing, performances can last more than 10 minutes and incorporate songs from other bird species, tree frog calls, and even manmade and mechanical sounds!
Read a book whose title or series name has all of the letters GRAY in it.
Whales and a Watery Grave - Ruby Loren 11/2
✔️27. Scarlet Tanager - During the breeding season, Scarlet Tanager males are bright scarlet red all over, except for their jet-black wings and tail. The female is a pastel-colored yellow-green with dusky wings. The male molts into an olive-yellow color in the fall. When threatened, they mob their predators by diving and swooping. The Scarlet Tanager’s song is a series of high-pitched notes that fade in and out.
Read a book whose title or series name has all of the letters SCARLET in it.
All the Crooked Saints - Maggie Stiefvater 11/5
✔️28. Indigo Bunting - Indigo buntings are small songbirds, roughly about the size of a sparrow. Males in their breeding plumage have a brilliant jewel-like coloring that makes them a favorite among birdwatchers. Vibrant shades of blue cover their bodies, with slightly darker blues on their head. Wingtips and tails are blackish. Indigo Buntings learn songs while they’re young from male Indigo Buntings nearby. A local Indigo Bunting song can last for up to 20 years. These birds migrate at night and are said to use the stars as guides.
Read a book whose title or series name has all of the letters INDIGO in it.
Abounding Might - Melissa McShane 11/22
✔️29. Northern Flicker - The Northern Flicker gets its name from the way males compete for the attention of females. They flick their wings open and closed, showing off their size and colorful plumage. They also bob their bodies and weave their heads around in patterns. Some people call Northern Flickers the “anteaters of the sky.” Their slightly curved bill helps them hunt for ants on the ground and on the sides of trees. Northern Flickers are dedicated parents. Both the male and female excavate the nest cavity, incubate the eggs, and bring back food for the chicks. They even have a schedule!
Read a book where two partners work together as dedicated parents to raise their child or children Rebel Hard - Nalini Singh 10/31
✔️30. Spotted Towhee - The Spotted Towhee is a large, striking sparrow of sun-baked thickets of the West. When you catch sight of one, they’re gleaming black above (females are grayish brown), spotted and striped with brilliant white. When it feeds on the ground it uses a two-footed, backwards-scratching hop called double-scratching. Early in the breeding season, male Spotted Towhees spend 70 to 90 percent of their mornings singing their hearts out, trying to attract a mate. Almost as soon as they attract a mate, their attention shifts to other things, and they spend only about 5 percent of their time singing.
Read a book whose title or series name has all of the letters SPOTTED in it.
Spotted at the Cemetery - Addison Moore & Bellamy Bloom 11/27
