Welcome to my quiz! Feel free to guess on the current quiz photo!

[Storm-Petrel]

1. American Goldfinch
2. Northern Cardinal
3. Rose-breasted Grosbeak
4. Chipping Sparrow
5. Mourning Dove

I can't pull anything else out...

Neil G.

[tim.birdboy]

Oh dear, David (featherbrain1223) meant 7 POINTS, not 7 species! :-D

Anyways, both Storm-Petrel and prairiemerlin have an incorrect combination.

9 POINTS (not species ;-))

[Storm-Petrel]

Common Loon
Ruddy Duck
Rough-legged Hawk

i cant id any of the others :'(

[birderbf]

David... I think that if that thing in the grass, behind and right, or the smidgen of a feather sticking out of the feeder left of the grosbeak is a bird... it's UnIDable...

But for kicks...

Rose-breasted Grosbeak
American Goldfinch
Northern Cardinal
Mourning Dove

!!!

[tim.birdboy]

Incorrect, both of those are an incorrect combination.

[birderbf]

Incorrect, both of those are an incorrect combination.

Phew! I could have sworn that Storm-Petrel had got it.

OK so is that thing in the feeder a bird? If so, add House Sparrow to my last guess.

[Storm-Petrel]

i think that other thing is a bald plain chachalaca. please add it to my previous guess. am i on the right quiz photo?!?!?!?!?!?!?

[birderbf]

am i on the right quiz photo?!?!?!?!?!?!?

I don't think so. Somehow your lines are very, very crossed.

This is what we're working on right now... http://www.birdforum.net/attachment.php?attachmentid=94969&d=1184854489

[Larry Lade]

Messed up Rose-breasted Grosbeak X Purple Finch
American Goldfinch
Northern Cardinal

[Storm-Petrel]

I don't think so. Somehow your lines are very, very crossed.

This is what we're working on right now... http://www.birdforum.net/attachment.php?attachmentid=94969&d=1184854489


oops, gosh i feel stupid!

[featherbrain1223]

Ok, I have not seen any correct combinations, and sorry for my messup, 7 points not species :-P. There are four species pictured, and that thing on the ground in the right side is just a leaf. The lil "feather" is a bird, considering that it was taken at my feeder and if you knwo where I live then you should be able to get a pretty good guess at it. At least it's not an empid hiding in the grass, birderbf!!!!!

[featherbrain1223]

13 points

[Storm-Petrel]

hmmmm... it still is weird, because the bird is simply unidentifyable and we have to work with pure guess work

i guess ill (randomly ;) ) guess mourning dove

[birderbf]

At least it's not an empid hiding in the grass, birderbf!!!!!

:-O o:) :-O

OK Rose-breasted Grosbeak, American Goldfinch, Northern Cardinal, Pinated Bunting?

[tim.birdboy]

:-O o:) :-O

OK Rose-breasted Grosbeak, American Goldfinch, Northern Cardinal, Pinated Bunting?

Incorrect, this is not the correct combination.

14 points.

[Larry Lade]

House Sparrow
Rose-breasted Grosbeak
American Goldfinch
Northern Cardinal

[featherbrain1223]

Nope, I live out in the sticks and am yet to have a House Sparrow for the Yard!!!

Think of little birds that dart into the feeder and quickly dart back out with a seed (AKA they don't stay at the feeder long, but go back and forth).

[Larry Lade]

Black-capped Chickadee
Rose-breasted Grosbeak
American Goldfinch
Northern Cardinal

[birderbf]

Black-capped Chickadee
Rose-breasted Grosbeak
American Goldfinch
Northern Cardinal

I think he lives too far south for Black-capped. Larry's guess, but with Carolina Chickadee?

[Larry Lade]

I thought that he and Tim both lived in Nebraska.

[tim.birdboy]

I (Tim) live in Nebraska, he (David) lives in extreme-northern Georgia (near Chattanooga). :-)

Keep the guesses coming!

[Larry Lade]

White-breasted Nuthatch
Rose-breasted Grosbeak
American Goldfinch
Northern Cardinal

[birderbf]

The three same, and Chipping Sparrow.

[tim.birdboy]

Both of those combination are incorrect!

Keep trying!

[Larry Lade]

Tufted Titmouse
Rose-breasted Grosbeak
American Goldfinch
Northern Cardinal

[tim.birdboy]

Correct! Larry wins 18 points. :-D

[BirdPhotography]

I can not even see a bird, so it must be a Yellow-billed Cuckoo as they remain pretty much invisible most of the time! ;)

[featherbrain1223]

Look very closely, there is a bird, I promise!

[prairiemerlin]
