Here are a few interesting species I've seen on some of my bird outings this year.

Enjoy!

Xenospiza · Oct 10, 2006

Well I am sure I have one right...
1. Scissor-tailed Flycatcher
2. Lewis's Woodpecker
3. Marbled Godwit
4. Northern Hawk Owl
5. Hooded Merganser

Progne Subis · Oct 10, 2006

Okay Xeno, you have two out of five, #2 is a Lewis's Woodpecker and #5 is a Hooded Merganser. Nicely done.

Now for the three that have yet to be IDed.

Wiktoria · Oct 10, 2006

4. Mayby Strix uralensis

Andrew Whitehouse · Oct 10, 2006

1. Townsend's Solitaire?

Progne Subis · Oct 10, 2006

Another one down! Number one is indeed a Townsend's Solitaire. Well done Andrew.

But sorry Wiktoria, no owls here, think more in a passerine direction for #4.

Andrew Whitehouse · Oct 10, 2006

3. Long-billed Curlew
4. Pinyon Jay

AStevenson · Oct 10, 2006

Ok, having come in more than halfway through:

3 long-billed dowitcher
4 Loggerhead shrike

That strange noise you hear is the sound of straws being clutched!!

Cheers,
Andrew

Keep guessing on the passerine guyes, Andrew W. is closer with the color of the bird, "blue". As for the shorebird, you're almost there AStevenson.

Andrew Whitehouse · Oct 11, 2006

3. Short-billed Dowitcher
4. Mountain Bluebird

Progne Subis · Oct 11, 2006

Yep! Three is a Short-billed Dowitcher! Yet again, you nearly have it with #4.

Jurij Hanžel · Oct 11, 2006

Well, this is a bit harder to choose from than just SBD and LBD, I'll have a stab at Western Bluebird, tough luck if it's Eastern.

Progne Subis · Oct 12, 2006

You stabbed correctly Jurij, it's a Western Bluebird. Nicely done.

Alright, good job everyone. Now it's time for round two!

Larry Lade · Oct 12, 2006

1. Lesser Goldfinch
2. Northern Mockingbird
3. Willet
4. Western Gull
5. Turkey Vulture

Xenospiza · Oct 12, 2006

1. Cedar Waxwing
2. Western Wood-Pewee
3. Greater Yellowlegs
4. Western Gull
5. Turkey Vulture that imitates a Hornbill

Progne Subis · Oct 12, 2006

#1=Cedar Waxwing
#2=Western Wood-peewe
#3=Greater Yellowlegs

3 out of 5 for Xeno.

Better luck next time Larry!

Now we're down to two. Keep trying guyes!

Progne Subis · Oct 14, 2006

See what they are now? The second photo is a different pic of the same bird.

jocateme · Oct 14, 2006

4. Franklin's Gull
5. Black Vulture, then?

Progne Subis · Oct 14, 2006

Good guesses Jocateme, but not quite.

Here are different photos of the same birds.

Jurij Hanžel · Oct 14, 2006

1 some Jaeger, Parasitic?
2 Bald Eagle
