List of 2-syllable Birds that end with L

    1

    Crossbill

    Loxia curvirostra

    A finch with a uniquely crossed bill — the upper and lower mandibles overlap like a pair of scissors, allowing it to prise open pine and spruce cones and extract the seeds inside with precision; crossbills can breed in the depths of winter when cones are ripe, sometimes nesting in snow.

    2

    Hornbill

    Bucerotidae (family; 55 species)

    A large tropical bird defined by its enormous brightly colored bill topped with a casque — a forest frugivore and icon of African and Asian biodiversity, and the subject of one of the most unusual nesting behaviors in the bird world.

    3

    Kestrel

    Falco tinnunculus

    A small falcon famous for hovering motionless into the wind above roadsides, moorland, and open fields while scanning the ground below for mice, voles, and large insects — one of the most recognizable birds of European and Asian countryside.

    4

    Seagull

    Laridae (family)

    A common term for various gull species — adaptable scavenger-omnivores found at coastlines, parking lots, garbage dumps, and inland lakes worldwide, with the herring gull and ring-billed gull being among the most familiar.

    5

    Spoonbill

    Platalea leucorodia

    A tall, all-white wading bird with a spatula-shaped bill that sweeps side to side through shallow water — one of Europe's most spectacular wetland birds, and a conservation success story after near-extinction in northwestern Europe.
