Come and Guess. (2 Viewers)

#1 - No idea!
#4 - Just to guess something: Magellanic Penguin??
#5 - Peregrine Falcon

 

[Progne Subis]

You got it on #5 Joao, it's a Peregrine!

On #4, you're still not far off, it is a species of penguin that is found in temperate rather than arctic regions.

And for the first..... I'll tell you it inhabits a specific Indonesian island.

Hi Tayler,

That leaves three species of Spheniscus penguins if one rules out jackass (black-footed). Your hint is tricky since the only arctic penguins are the ones who hang out with the Polar Bears in the Coca Cola commercials , and the two of the three remaining Spheniscus are temperate species. Galapagos Penguin is tropical since its range is centered near the equator. So that leaves Humboldt and Magellanic, though alot of the range of Humboldt is in the tropic zone. I don't think that those two can be separated based on the image so it amounts to a guess. Since Magellanic seems to be the one kept in zoos most often and is the most temperate of the remaining ones, I'll guess that one for #4.

And for the first..... I'll tell you it inhabits a specific Indonesian island.

This one is one of the world's most endangered birds and comes from an island that is an anagram of LAIB, right?

Hello Chris..... I guess you know your details about Spheniscus penguins a bit better than I do!

Since you gave yourself a 50/50 chance of guessing the right answer by choosing between the Magellanic Penguin and the Humboldt, (and you decided Magellanic) I will say guess one more time. But I see what you mean about the range of the latter species of penguin, so I suppose since the majority of its range is north of the Tropic of Capricorn, it would be considered more of a tropical species than temperate.

As for your guess on the first bird, "LAIB" is a viable anagram for the island on which it resides. And yes, it's also critically endangered. So you're right! It's a Bali Myna. Nicely done.

Alright, now that we have that whole thing sorted out, get ready for another zoo bird round!

#1. Peregrine Falcon?
#3. Burrowing Owl
#4. Daptrius americanus ?

 

[Progne Subis]

Sorry Ensis, keep on guessin'......

 

[Larry Lade]

1. Merlin
2. juvenile Wild Turkey
3. Barred Owl
4. ---
5. Yellow-crowned Night-Heron

#4. Harris' Hawk

 

[Progne Subis]

Now the ball is rolling....

Larry's got it on #3 with Barred Owl! Way to go.

Ensis is correct on #4 with Harris's Hawk! :clap:

Keep it up!

#2 Brown Tinamou

Hi Tayler,

The red eyed bird (the quiz bird formerly known as #5) looks like a Demoiselle Crane.

The raptor is a Falco, and thinking regionally, I'll guess Gyrfalcon.

The other one is a...err...I'll get back to you on that one.

Chris

 

[Progne Subis]

Splendid Chris. You're correct.

#1= Gyrfalcon

#5= Demoiselle crane

Okay, I'll admit, #2 is the most difficult. This is a South American species again. I'll give a more obvious clue later if you all are confused.

 

[Progne Subis]

#2 Brown Tinamou

Sorry, no Brown Tinamou here.


Okay, I'll ease your suffering by making the cropped image larger......

 

[Larry Lade]

Is it a species of guan?

 

[Progne Subis]

Nope, no guans here either. This one belongs to the order Gruiforms and more specifically the family Psophiidae.

 

[Larry Lade]

Dark-winged Trumpeter

 

[Progne Subis]

Getting closer!

 

[Progne Subis]

Okay, to make this easier, another clue. This bird inhabits the tropical Amazonian basin in humid forests. Larry is really close already, just guess the right species!

 

[Larry Lade]

Well, there is Grey-winged and Pale-winged Trumpeter.

On a 50/50 chance, I will go with Grey-winged Trumpeter.
