Field Notes

Habitat:

Common in many Eastern woodlands and forests, from old stands of oak and hickory to young hardwoods and pines. They will also often venture from forests to appear at backyard feeders.

Notes:

Common also, in the Miami suburbs. I often see them nesting in palms, such as in this coconut at the beach.
