Birderbf's Photo Quiz (1 Viewer)

[Storm-Petrel]

Canada Goose, Glossy Ibis and Baird's Sandpiper

EDIT: make that a Dunlin instead of a Baird's Sandpiper

 

[prairiemerlin]

Glossy Ibis, Canada Goose, and Least Sandpiper.

 

[bebirder]

If prairiemerlin gets it wrong then Glossy Ibis, Canada Goose, and Semipalmated Sandpiper

#30!

Glossy Ibis, Canada Goose, and Least Sandpiper.

That's the combo! 11 point for PrairieMerlin I actually had planned on shooting the two bigger birds, and only later did I spot the little Least running around in the back. It was a nice bonus for a full day at Jamaica Bay (a different day than the Whistling-Ducks though, I think).

Some may groan, but I think this one should also be solved fairly quickly, so 10 pts. G'luck!

There's a bird in that photo?

Maybe Least Flycatcher?

There is a bird in the photo - not only a bird, but a Least Flycatcher! Well done!

For 20 points:

Pectoral Sandpiper.

 

[Storm-Petrel]

I figure thats the Curlew Sandpiper that recently visited NY.
i guess Curlew Sandpiper. i was gonna guess dunlin, but the primary projection goes beyond the tail, which is not common in dunlins

 

[Larry Lade]

In the quiz photo taken at Jamaica Bay I have circled three of the birds. The white circled birds I thought were as marked. What is the bird circled in yellow? I thought it might be a Glossy Ibis.

And just where is the American Coot?

Pectoral Sandpiper.

Well done! This was my very first, on eastern Long Island, NY.

Let me create a key to the whistling duck one before the next quiz. Hold on to your hats!

 

[birderbf]

OK here it is: they're all marked.

I don't think the duck in the lower right corner is identifiable, but I'd guess it to be another Black Duck.

 

[birderbf]

Now go for #32... ten points.

 

[prairiemerlin]

Purple Gallinule.

 

[birderbf]

#33

Purple Gallinule.

Ya! These birds actually CAN fly!

Wakodahatchee Wetlands, FL. Same bird that's in my avatar, after he was fed up with the camera clicking.

Here's a scenic with a 20- point bird in there...

Fortunately I am very familiar with Harris's Sparrows, so i can tell what this quiz bird is 8-P

(we get em in winter when theyre common as dirt)

Harris's Sparrow

And just where is the American Coot?

Larry, the one you circled as american wigeon, i was confused too because i thought it was a green winged teal 8-P

 

[tim.birdboy]

Harris's Sparrow!

 

[jcwings]

Looks more like Song Sparrow.
