Secret Bird (3 Viewers)

[Accipiter91]

Even though it is only slightly similar, I kind of stole this idea from "field work... hard work". The object of this quiz is to guess the name of the bird using the clues that I have posted on the thread. I will post 2 new clues every day (one in the morning and one at night). When the correct answer is posted I will choose a new bird and post new clues. Unfortunately, I do not know my foreign birds so I am only using birds from North America. However anyone is free to take a crack at it if they think they know the answer. Thanks and good luck! :t:

1) common bird of Southeastern pine forests.
2)often travels in small groups

 

[Accipiter91]

clue #2

3) Sometimes mixes with other woodland birds such as titmice, chickadees, kinglets, and warbler.
4) feeds on seeds and insects gleaned from trees while foraging.

Brown-headed Nuthatch

Good job, the correct answer is Brown-headed Nuthatch! Secret Bird number 2 will not be quite as easy!

1)Common in wet deciduous woods and thickets throughout most of the United States.

 

[Larry Lade]

How about a Common Yellowthroat!

 

[Accipiter91]

How about a Common Yellowthroat!

Nope Sorry! Now for clue #2.

2)Usually solitary but may join loose groups of warblers and other woodland birds.

ahh !! hooded warbler ?......

 

[Accipiter91]

Nope good guess...keep trying! Since I did not post a clue this morning I guess I can post clue #3!

3)Moves briskly (often flicking tail) while foraging for insects throughout the canopy.

 

[danehower]

bob - is this a warbler ? .....

 

[Accipiter91]

Sorry can't say! However, I will tell you this...you are thinking in the right direction!

 

[dennis]

Palm Warbler?

 

[Accipiter91]

sorry that is incorrect

 

[Accipiter91]

Think kinglets maybe? (don't want to make it too obvious!)

 

[cjwolf]

Blue-gray Gnatcatcher?

 

[Accipiter91]

Great job Cole! It is a Blue-grey Gnatcatcher

 

[Accipiter91]

Ok, let us shift our gaze from the eastern United States and head elsewhere as we prepare to guess another "Secret Bird"...

1)Uncommon in dry, open, brushy, grassy, or desert habitat.
