Well you put as many points as you want for your certain bird quiz that your doing. When someone guess wrong i rise the point one point higher each time, You don't need to do that, I'm just giving options.

[screech-owl]

Well you put as many points as you want for you certain bird quiz that your doing. When someone guess wrong i rise the point one point higher each time, You don't need to do that, I'm just giving options.

So what you're saying is that if I say the bird is 5 points. After every guess, I raise it one point. So after the first wrong guess, it becomes 6points?

[BirdPhotography]

Yes, If you want to do that. Yellow billed Cuckoo?

I stop guessing on your quiz now.

Blue Grouse?

[birderbf]

So what you're saying is that if I say the bird is 5 points. After every guess, I raise it one point. So after the first wrong guess, it becomes 6points?

That's what I do to Corey (I thought of that). But it's just as fine to assign each photo a value in points and award it to the first correct guesser.

Unfortunately I can't guess on these photos since you've already tried them on me. :-O

Worth 25pts. You must tell me the bird and which field guide!!!!!!!!!!!

Around meadows in mountain west male ______ are aften heard before they are seen: their wings make a metallic trilling in flight. Like other mountain ____'s, appears regularly in lowlands during migration.
Male has rose throat, green back and sides, some rusty in tail. Female green above, buff on sides.

Voice: musical chip, buzzy chattering



And please, greenmagpie don't answer, because you were just birding with me and we saw this bird.

[Storm-Petrel]

PS: its the National Geographic field guide to birds

[screech-owl]

Okay, here is a hint for one of the birds:

This bird looks very simiar to one of the birds that was already quessed correctly.

[screech-owl]

anybody what a clue

[prairiemerlin]

[screech-owl]

Northern Cardinal ?

That'd be my guess.

Think smaller...

[screech-owl]

Well... This is taking way too long. The answer is indigo Bunting. Please PM me if you are still interested in this quiz. I would like to know whether to post another photo or not.

[prairiemerlin]

[ayasuda]

European Starling

[screech-owl]

European Starling

I answered it below, its an Indigo Bunting. New quiz in a jiffy :-O

[ayasuda]

Keep going, it might get a little slow during the weekend. Besides, the last picture looked like the bird had been hot waxed, and plucked.

[screech-owl]

New quiz, easy: 2pts.

[ayasuda]

american goldfinch

[Larry Lade]

Indigo Bunting ?

[prairiemerlin]

Looks awfully Vesper Sparrowish to me...

[screech-owl]

Indigo Bunting ?

Larry Got it, female indigo bunting. New quiz in a day or so.

[screech-owl]

New Quiz, sorry for the wait.


a photoshopped picture, as you can see...


10pts.

[ayasuda]

Manx shearwater

[Zac Hinchcliffe]

Little Gull?

[screech-owl]

Sorry, both are incorrect.

[prairiemerlin]

Black-crowned Night-Heron?

[screech-owl]

well... there are two birds

[Zac Hinchcliffe]

Black Crowned Night heron and Snowy Egret

[ayasuda]

I can sort of see the heron, but the other bird is totally unknown. How about a Green Heron the flight shape looks about right, but the other...

[screech-owl]

You guys are right about Black-crowned Night-heron, but you haven't yet correctly guessed the second bird.

[tim.birdboy]

I think the photo editing is a bit too extreme for even a guess of the other bird. ;) Perhaps a hint?

I'll take a wild stab at Black Tern?

[screech-owl]

Very close. Think larger, it is a tern though.

[Larry Lade]

Caspian Tern ?

[tim.birdboy]

Forster's Tern?

That's funny, I just randomly guessed Black Tern because when I got my life Black-crowned Night-Heron, there were many, many Black Terns around! ;)

[screech-owl]

Caspian Tern ?

Larry got it, Caspian Tern.

[screech-owl]

Here is the next one:

10pts.

[Zac Hinchcliffe]

Try to make it a bit harder!!!!

Red Tailed Hawk Maybe!

[screech-owl]

No...

[Zac Hinchcliffe]

Cliff Swallow?

[screech-owl]

Wrong. If anyone wants a hint PM me.

By the way, Larry got 17 pts. for the last one.

[dantheman]

Hi Corey, hope you don't mind me having a go? -

Least Bittern??!!

[Zac Hinchcliffe]

Next guess...Broad-winged Hawk

[screech-owl]

Every one is wrong! :-O

[Larry Lade]

Red-shouldered Hawk ?

[ayasuda]

Allen's hummingbird

[prairiemerlin]

Turkey Vulture!

[screech-owl]

Still no one is right... think larger than a hummer, yet smaller than a vulture and a red-shouldered hawk.

[Larry Lade]

American Kestrel ?

[ayasuda]

barn owl.

[screech-owl]

Smaller than those...

[ayasuda]

Sharp Shinned Hawk

[Larry Lade]

Eastern Bluebird ?

[Zac Hinchcliffe]

A bit of Obscurity! a circling Least Bittern!

[screech-owl]

none right, but Larry was the closest, size wise.

Here is a clue for American birders (or others if you know somethings about US birds!):

think greasy

[Larry Lade]

Cedar Waxwing ?

[screech-owl]

Oh yeah, by the way, if/when you get the correct answer, and you explain the clues, I'll add a point to your score! :-)

[ayasuda]

Gray Jay.

[screech-owl]

Nope not a gray jay or waxwing. Once again, Larry is close, size wise.

[Larry Lade]

We need another clue, "greasy" did nothing for me!

(I thought waxwing might relate or Oilbird but waxwing was wrong and Oilbird does not occur in the US.)

Yellow-headed Blackbird ?

[screech-owl]

Yellow-headed Blackbird is too big. This bird is a late breeder, since it waits for a certain plant to go to seed.

This probably gave it away. ;)

[nick patel]

Northern flicker?

[screech-owl]

too big

[prairiemerlin]

gotta be an American Goldfinch

[screech-owl]

Correct! American Goldfinch!

The first clue "greasy"- some people say that the goldfinches flight call is "potato chip, potato chip" hence greasy.

They breed late to collect the soft plant material that thistle has (used to lift seeds into air). New quiz soon.

[screech-owl]

Next one, fairly easy, I think.

5pts.

[Zac Hinchcliffe]

mountain Bluebird?

[nick patel]

Acadian flycatcher?

[Larry Lade]

Eastern Bluebird?

[screech-owl]

Nope...

[Larry Lade]

Tufted Titmouse? (the blue coloration across the bird appears to be a reflection of some blue object which is nearby)

[ayasuda]

California Towhee?

[screech-owl]

Incorrect...

[greenmagpie]

Black-capped Chickadee

[screech-owl]

Nice lil' bro! (greenmagpie is me brother!)

tis a Black-capped Chickadee!

New one soon, hopefully. ;)

[Terry O'Nolley]

I need to drink less beer! I was trying this quiz and I thought you gave a clue: "Spits".
So I was thinking how a bird species could be related to "spitting" the way you related "oily" with a Goldfinch's "potato chip" call :D

Then I looked closer (after totally giving up) and realized that what I read as "spits" was, actually "5pts".

I AM GOING CRAZY HERE!!!!!!!!!!!

(Love this thread BTW!)

[screech-owl]

This is extremely easy!

But I made it small.



5pts. (not spits!)

[Larry Lade]

Baltimore oriole?

[tim.birdboy]

I agree with Larry, but just in case he and I is/am wrong, I will guess Black-headed Grosbeak, though a cherry tree is an unlikely habitat. ;)

[screech-owl]

Both wrong, it is an apple tree by the way. ;)

No clues for this one. :eat:


-going for 8pts now...

[Larry Lade]

Orchard Oriole and Baltimore Oriole ?

[tim.birdboy]

Just Orchard Oriole?

Agh my tree identification failed me! ;)

[screech-owl]

Larry got it!

It is an Orchard and a Baltimore Oriole! Taken in my backyard this spring.

[screech-owl]

Next one!

Get all of the birds! I'll let you know if any of the birds you guess are in the picture. WRITE OUT ALL OF THE BIRDS IN THE PHOTO, IF YOU DON'T, I WILL NOT EXCEPT IT AS A CORRECT ANSWER. :eat:

[screech-owl]

[birderbf]

A couple of Bald Eagles, or maybe just one.

[screech-owl]

Make sure that you list all of the birds. Not gonna tell ya if those birds are there or not if you don't!

This was just to make it harder! (Actually it makes it easier for me, what's the difference?);)

[greenmagpie]

Osprey
American Crow
Common Raven
Turkey Vulture
Red-tailed Hawk
Merlin

[screech-owl]
