I'll post one picture at a time, and give the state it was taken in. When someone correctly ID's it, I'll give him/her a point and then post a new picture. After 30 pictures (if I can find that many!!!) the player with the most points wins!

SCORE BOARD:
1st- nickderry (1)



Ok, now...

ROUND ONE:

State: Florida (SE United States)

green heron, it's not that people aren't trying - this was only posted yesterday! Patience is a virtue. Nice to see another quiz - they're always a lot of fun.

really shouldn't have got involved in a quiz on American birds - don't know them at all! I'll try a young brown-headed cowbird.
