[Jurij Hanžel]

83 Dendrocopos minor
81 Corvus corone corone
82 blue jay
86 motacilla alba

 

[lou salomon]

81 tetrao tetrix
82 coracias garrulus
83 dryocopos martius (this could be also no 81)
84 yeah gallinula, too late, so I say Fulica atra
85 scolopax rusticola if people like it in the oven; if the bird likes ovens, hm - troglodytes???
86 botaurus stellaris
89 chlidonias niger but guess Jurij is right

 

[very boring banned member]

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 salomon]

81 Fulica atra
85 Gallinago gallinago
86 uff! Ixobrychus then?
89 Larus sabini

 

[Jurij Hanžel]

86 Nycticorax???
85 Limosa limosa

Although Italians are known to eat Scolopax guts Finns probably don't have such a bizzare taste.

 

[lou salomon]

I know that some poor people shot Limosa in Romania to eat them. At one place it probably was breeding...

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

 

[Jurij Hanžel]

89 Sterna paradisaea
81 Melanitta nigra
85 Some american troglodytes?
86 a goose??

Lou, about the limosa, they discovered the (probably) last colony of Geronticus eremita in WP because one of the locals started complaining that a bird he shot gave him stomach ache. It was a Geronticus!

[Jurij Hanžel]

I agree with the cinclus, really plump, just for the oven.

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.

 

[lou salomon]

Ovenbird - Prunella modularis again?
Oxbird - that's why i tried Botaurus and Somateria m.; hm Larus marinus???
Water swallow - Phalaropus lobatus

 

[Jurij Hanžel]

sorry modularis breeds in Slovenia.
Phalaropus fulicarius
moomoo- an owl

 

[Jurij Hanžel]

oven- maybe trochilus, that must be common

 

[very boring banned member]

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.

 

[Jurij Hanžel]

ox- loxia leucoptera
so it's not trochilus, how about collybita.

 

[lou salomon]

-I agree with the ox
-trochilus is the most numerous bird in Finland! followed by Fr. coelebs according to the EBCC-Atlas. So I'm saying Chaffinch.
Lou

 

[Jurij Hanžel]

wow, lou! Do you want to say that chaffinches don't breed in Slovenia??
Karwin mentioned that the ovenbird doesn't breed in slovenia.
