From the birding mastermind (that would be me ;) ) that brought you Secret Bird II I now am proud to present........... Birdforum Bingo! It is really quite simple, hidden in each very poor qaulity (a reflection of my camera I am afraid) photo is a bird. The photo is broken into cells, B1, D4, I2, etc. Your objective is to guess the cell the hidden bird is in. Please one guess per post! Thanks, good luck, and have fun!
To the creator of the Battleship quiz: I am sorry for seemingly stealing your idea. Believe it or not I have been wanting to do this for ages but never had a camera, now I have one and when I saw your quiz it reminded me of the quiz I wanted to do! Hope there is no hard feelings. Thanks!

Interesting idea. A great way to use all those lousy photos you don't know what to do with. :t:

Great job B.C Birder! D2 is correct! btw the bird in the photo is a Eastern Kingbird sitting on a powerline. If you look closely you can see the powerline through the shrubs. I was thinking that maybe there should be a points system, how does that sound? Three points for the person that guesses correctly? In addition I also changed the format around a little bit, tell if you like the new look or want to keep the old one! btw thanks jcwings!

So you doubt my photography skills do you!? (Hey I can't say I blame you!) ;) There is indeed a bird hidden in this photograph. I never noticed the "woodpecker" and now that you mention it it does resemble a Downy or Hairy! 3:-) However, I assure you there was no woodpecker. Sorry but you and B.C. Birder are both wrong, keep guessing and good luck!

Ok...fine I will give you a hint but I think this will make it SO obvious...the bird you are looking for is a prothonotary warbler.

Sorry Ladies and Gentlemen, B.C. Birder is once again correct! The Prothonotary Warbler is hidden in O5! I regret to say that I am out of usable photos so tomorrow I will try and take some more.

I am sorry but the old puzzle has been solved by B.C. Birder. I am about to post a new one. Well in any case...I7 is not correct. Keep guessing and good luck!
