BirdPhotography's Photo Quiz

[BirdPhotography]

I'm making a new quiz just by myself this time:king:.The amount of points received will increase by 1 point, every time somebody guesses incorrectly.
The rules are the same as the last photo quiz.


QUIZ RULE'S
1. An answer, consisting simply of the Common or English name exactly as it appears in the ABA Checklist. Answers submitted by any other means will not be considered.
2. A new bird photo will be posted each day. We will post the names of all participants who submit the correct answer by the deadline posted with each day's photo quiz.
