Bird Word Puzzle (2 Viewers)

I was watching Wheel of Fortune and got this idea for a quiz. Each puzzle is the name of a bird. In each puzzle the vowels are already filled in. Each player guesses one letter per turn but anyone can try to guess the puzzle at any point in the game. Until I see how this game is going to work out I am only going to do North American birds. However, if I can get enough players I will do birds from abroad as well. Each puzzle is worth 2 pnts. Have fun and good luck!

I'll take an S, Pat.

One quick question: is the second square after the apostrophe a space, or is the name lumped together like: Swainson'sthrush?
 
ok one N and one S...

oh yeah btw birderbf I fixed the puzzle so you should be able to tell that there is a space after the apostrophe
