Come and Guess. (1 Viewer)

I knew someone would finally guess correctly. You're right on both Jurij.

Alright, here comes round three!

Nicely done Joao, #3 is indeed a Double-crested Cormorant.

Keep trying for the other four!

Another point for Jurij :). #4 is an albino Mallard. Keep trying for #2 though! The bird appears darker than it actually is.

Both of you are heading in the right direction for #2, but you don't quite have it yet.

As for #3, it's not a bird beloning to either Procellariidae or Diomedeidae, think more along the lines of #2.

But for the 1st one, it is one of those "warblerish yellow-green jobs", so just keep guessing!

I'll give more clues later if necessary.
 
Another one down! The second photo is a Common Tern. Good job Joao.

As for the last two, the warbler is not from the genus Dendroica. That should help a little. I've also attached a different photo of the same bird.

For the wing, I'll admit, it's a Tern. But what kind I'll leave up to you to figure out! I've made the crop a bit wider to reveal a bit more of the bird.

You got it Lou! Orange-crowned Warbler it is.

Now for the tern, you're not too far off though.

Bingo. You're right Xenospiza! It's a Sterna Caspia.

Okay, prepare yourselves for the final round!

New round, new guesses:
1 - ???
2 - Common Nighthawk?
3 - Tree Swallow
4 - Cliff Swallow
5 - Black-chinned Hummingbird
 
Good job on #4 Joao. It's definately a Petrochelidon pyrrhonota. You're close with 3 and 5 though.

Keep up the guessing. :)
