    86 (oxbird) goes to - Jurij. :clap: to Hanzel Jurij and Lou Salomon for the second last ten names (5-5). Now, have a coffee break until the final stretch ;)

    Sorry about the trochilus (I used Collins guide's map). -No I don't mean dog debate, but pig discussion.

    Sorry, trochilus escaped my attention; point to Hanzel. The earlier appearance of oxbird's voice on this thread indicated another mammal species, though.

    89 goes to Lou. Oxbird has already made an appearance on the earlier sub-contests in this thread. Also then its nickname was voice-related. Ovenbird has also another official Finnish name. That is Salix-bird.

    81 to Jurij. Ovenbird is the most common bird in Finland, although right now we hardly have none of them. It does not breed in Slovenia. Ox refers to voice. Water swallow females are sexy.

    81 has webbed feet. In 85 Lou was getting correct with the troglodytes direction. 86 has webbed feet. 89 breeds in Ultima Thule.

    Hanzel scores 84 and Lou 82-83. Hints: 81 - Finland is a country with thousands of lakes. 85 & 86 - Lou is getting on right direction. 89 - the order is right.

    Lou is very close with 80. 74 info: Nominate race breeds in the Palearctic, carolinensis with paler breast-band in North America, ridgwayi in the Caribbean and cristatus from Australasia. Birds from the Philippines to northern Australia are sometimes separated as melvillensis and those from New...

    72-73 points to Lou. 74 fish fanciers do not like this bird. 80 is dark and not related with Pagophila.

    Correct.

    Points 71 (Keanu supposedly knows female Reeves) & 76 to Jurij. 73: rusticolus breeds in Finland. This one does not. 79: this one has more webbed toes than adamsii.
  14. V

    Finquiz II

    77 & 78 to Lou. Some more hints: 71: another hint related to pop culture; Keanu knows these ;) 72: not as small as Clangula. At all. 73: this is a mega in Finland. 74: this cosmopolitan breeds in trees. 79: size matters also. 80: breeds in Europe.

    75 to Jurij. 78 doesn't have webfeet.
  16. V

    Finquiz II

    Wrong. 71 - The Prodigy sings about this bird ;) 76 - ....to you guys I say no more ;) 77 - bird banders do not like this one 78 & 79 - both refer, besides of habitat, to the overall colour with mentioned birds

    OK Salomon, points from 61 & 63 to You (the latter one being Ph. phoenicurus, which You earlier suggested for 61). One left: 67 (liyky).
  20. V

    Finquiz II

    61- smaller! A common European plant belongs to this very same genus! 63- Luscinias have somewhat similarish tail. 67- no webfeet.
  21. V

    Finquiz II

    Wrong. 61: a bit same looks, but smaller. 63: we have all kinds of Phylloscopus & Acrocephalus here. Phyllos are sunlight singers, Acros prefer night, but this passerine doesn't belong any of these genuses. 67: this species has white mirror on right wing.
  22. V

    Finquiz II

    61 - not this. 63 - nope. 67 - this has got one more toe in that leg. 68 - correct.
  23. V

    Finquiz II

    61 no - this is a passerine. 62 correct. Official Finnish name is luhtahuitti. 63 no - collybita sings strictly in daylight. 64 correct. 65 no. 66 correct (Anas). 68 no. Another amazing resemblance with Your earlier suggestion: overall colour. 70 correct. Correct. Now how did You bluff that...

    Finquiz II

    69 right. In Finland Canis familiaris says hau hau. 69 correct, but Jurij was quicker, sorry. 61 in Finland this always sings on the top of Picea abies. 62 this feels at home in reedbeds. 63 close. In Finnish June, this starts singing at midnight. 64 this one does not fancy trees. 65 this one...
