Their breeding habitat is wooded areas including suburban parks and farmland across most of North America. They usually nest in trees, coniferous or deciduous, or sometimes on the ground.  These birds forage on the ground or in low bushes, sometimes flying up to catch insects in flight. They mainly eat insects and seeds.

These birds migrate to the southern United States and south to Mexico.

Well known for perching upside down with ease by holding strongly on tree barks, it’s always a delight to see them manage these positions.
