[OwlTalon]

I like this new trend. Here Goes
Welcome to OwlTalon's ID quiz. Try and figure out the birds in each batch of purposely blurred, blown-up, and cropped shots. Best of Luck! Enjoy mi pics! (At least until I leave on tuesday, then I will have limited comp access)

[OwlTalon]

The "Find (then ID) the Bird" section of the quiz!

[Storm-Petrel]

the hawk is in the very upper righthand corner of the pic

[OwlTalon]

That is indeed the bird. I need speciifcs though.....

[Larry Lade]

It looks like an adult Bald Eagle to me.

[Storm-Petrel]

[OwlTalon]

Bald Eagle it is indeed. Now for the photo IDs....

[Larry Lade]

On your initial photos in this thread, my guesses are:

1. Dunlin and female Mallard
2. Lesser Scaup
3. Forster's Tern
4. Bald Eagle
5. Sooty Shearwaters

[ayasuda]

Here we go:

Pic 1: Dunlin and unk
Pic 2: Greater Scaup
Pic 3: Sooty Tern
Pic 4: Bald Eagle
Pic 5: Razor Bills

Find the Bird: Bald Eagle

[OwlTalon]

Pic 1: Dunlin yes. Not a female Mallard.
Pic 2: Ayasuda gets it w/ Greater Scaup
Pic 3: Neither Sooty nor Forster's Tern is correct
Pic 4: Is indeed another Bald Eagle
Pic 5: No and No

[Larry Lade]

OK, I will try these:

3. Common Tern
5. Wilson's Storm-Petrel

[birderbf]

Least Tern, and Razorbills?

[Larry Lade]

Is the bird to the right of the Dunlin in photo #1 and female teal?

[OwlTalon]

Pic 1: Still no dice Larry!
Pic 3: Birderbf gets it! Least Tern
Pic 5: Keep going guys!

[Larry Lade]

1. Dunlin and Gadwall

[ayasuda]

1: female shoveler
5: thick billed murre

[ayasuda]

I'm bumping this forward. Any other guess.

[OwlTalon]

Still none right. I'll be kind. Pic one is of two waders.

[Birdingcraft]

Wow that sure does look like a Duck. With the hint I will call the bird on the right in pic 1 a Willet.
Pic 5- pure guess, Atlantic Puffin

I knew that - I thought someone had already answered for some reason... yes Willet and Dunlin.
