prairiemerlin's Photo Quiz (1 Viewer)

Tim is correct! I photographed these Red-crowned Parrots just yesterday near my house. They are well established and officially "countable", which is why I decided it would be fair game for a quiz. ;-)

Neil G.

Thank god they're countable... I never go looking for exotics when I'm in Florida but I bumped into them once. I don't see what's wrong with Black-hooded Parakeet though, they're probably more common and increasing. Great, I may have started an arguement!

 

[prairiemerlin]

I don't know how hard this will be... :brains:

A very cool photo, Neil!

Northern Pygmy Owl and B-

Whoa that's weird. I just got something in the mail with your face on the back! As I was typing!

Anyway the owl and a Black-throated Gray Warbler!

 

[Storm-Petrel]

i agree w/ brendan

 

[Larry Lade]

That's what they look like to me too!

 

[prairiemerlin]

Sorry, you guys are wrong!

Neil G.

Brendan - no comment... lol... :eek!: :eek!: :-O :-O

 

[tim.birdboy]

Ferruginous Pygmy-Owl and Black-throated Gray Warbler?

 

[featherbrain1223]

A gray Flammulated Owl and BTYW.

 

[featherbrain1223]

Whoopsie daisy, no way that a Flam. *Take answer away*

 

[prairiemerlin]

Nope...

 

[Storm-Petrel]

Eastern Screech Owl and Black-throated Gray Warbler

 

[tim.birdboy]

I'm desperate!

Western Screech-Owl and Black-throated Gray Warbler?

 

[birderbf]

Elf Owl and BTGW??? I must be missing a species of something...

 

[prairiemerlin]

Brendan got it - the mystery owl is an Elf Owl! Apparently they are active only very rarely during the day - several birders whom I told were very skeptical until I showed them the photos.

Neil G.

 

[featherbrain1223]

ACK!!! I thought it looked like Elf but you told me it was active during the day so I thought "nah". BTW Brendan, Black-throated Gray Warbler is BTYW (so you don't confuse it with Black-throated Green).

grrrr

 

[birderbf]

ACK!!! I thought it looked like Elf but you told me it was active during the day so I thought "nah". BTW Brendan, Black-throated Gray Warbler is BTYW (so you don't confuse it with Black-throated Green).

grrrr

Oh those codes just confuse people more - they're useless, except on bands. Someone should start a quiz where you have to ID the codes!

Ok so Elf Owl and *air intake* Black - throated Gray Warbler!

 

[featherbrain1223]

I love codes, they sooooooooo(ooooooooooo) much faster when typing and writing!!
When's the next quizzy comin neil?

 

[prairiemerlin]

Yep, codes are great - a ton faster than writing it all out. They're really not that hard to learn... :cat: :t:

Today's bird is unique!!

grrrr

Tsk tsk tsk, WHO told me it was "no way jose" an Elf Owl???8-P

And I could've WON!!! :C

 

[featherbrain1223]

Hey Mr. No Way Jose,

I thought of Elf Owl even before you mentioned it, but it didn't seem quite right and Mr. Neil said active in day, so that put ELOW totally down the drain 8-P

OK, my guess, doesn't seem exactly right, but female Cerulean Warbler?
