How about a Parakeet Auklet ?

Oh, I wish it was. But you have the right idea though.

Hi Tayler!

Great to see you back and with more pic puzzles too....though I haven't a clue what this one is!

Sue.....perplexed

Thanks very much Sue. || I appreciate your loyalty to this quiz. I'll give out clues soon if everyone is having a bad time with this one.

Keep trying!!

Little Auk

 

[Sue Wright]

I'll try Little Auk too please Tayler

Sue.

 

[Progne Subis]

Good guess you two, but Little Auk (or Dovekie where I come from) isn't it... Getting closer!

 

[Sue Wright]

So, how about Brunnich's Guillemot then?

Ah, warmer still! Keep guessing... ||

 

[Sue Wright]

Thick-billed Murre? You're wearing me out Tayler....some things never change then!

 

[Progne Subis]

Very close! Sorry Sue...

Hi Tayler,

How are you? Great to see you around here again.

And with a few tips above me, I'll try Common Murre as my first guess.

Cheers

 

[Sue Wright]

Common Murre? Last one for the night Tayler, see you tomorrow at the winner's post - yes?! Oh, maybe not then!o

Sue. NO!!!! I just saw Joao up there with the same!!!! A dual then Joao!:C

 

[jocateme]

I promise to share the prize with you if I win, Sue

 

[Progne Subis]

Oops

Try again here.

How about a Razorbill or a Guillemot

Oh, wait a minute. I think I have misunderstood you. Here in the States, a Guillemot is either the Pigeon or Black Guillemot, genus Cepphus. But I forgot that the Common Murre, genus Uria is the Common Guillemot in Europe. So if that's what you meant, you are correct. Sorry about that... the bird is a Common Murre/Guillemot.

Well anyway, lets move on! (Didn't mean to lead you on like that Sue:-C)

Pied-billed Grebe ?

Yes, you are both correct! (hello Joao! Nice to see you again. I'm doing just fine, it's the same for you I hope.) Earlier in the thread, Peewit said Guillemot which I had forgotten was the equivalent to the Common Murre here in North America. My mistake, sorry! :-C Okay, now focus your attention on our next mystery bird!

 

[Progne Subis]

Pied-billed Grebe ?

Sorry Neil, not a Pied-billed Grebe.

 

[Larry Lade]

Tayler, can you post the un-cropped photo of the Common Murre? I think I see a little orange where one would normally find a bird's beak/bill. I would like to see where that is coming from on a photo of the entire bird.

 

[Progne Subis]

Sure Larry. Here are two photos of the same Murre...
