See if you can find all the bird in this pic AND ID them... :)

[Liam]

I see two. Chipping Sparrow.

[Elliot]

Two is correct, but not chipping sparrows...  think bigger.  

[Liam]

White-Throated sparrow?

[Elliot]

Still bigger...  I hope it isn't to hard.  May be someone can help Liam.  Two is better than one right?

[Puppets]

Dark eyed juncos?

[Elliot]

Couldn't be Dark-eyed Juncos.  Look at my location  This is a recent photo.

My 9 year old is guessing house sparrow.  I would almost think Song sparrow, but I do not think they are bigger than white-throated.  

[JimBob]

My guess is White-Crowned Sparrows. And are they sparrows?

[stewart1998]

Mourning Dove?

[Elliot]

Ok, I've had never seen a White - throated Sparrow before so I did not know the size; I thought it would be about the size of a House Sparrow.  I just googled the size for a White-throated and it is about the same size as the species in the pic.  Sorry about that Liam.  No, it is not a sparrow or a dove.

I was thinking about this just now and wonder if they are juvenile robins.  

[Elliot]

Your the closest, but it's not a robin.  

[Elliot]

Here is a clue: its related to the Robin.

[cwj2323]

I am taking a wild guess here, but could they be gray catbirds?  I've never id'ed one, so am not familiar with them. 

[stewart1998]

Grackle? Northern Mockingbird?

[KRIZDA88]

Wild guess based on my Illinois field guide and your clue about Robins: Gray-cheeked Thrush?

[Elliot]

Stay on the same track as KRIZDA88's guess and you'll have it soon. 

[cwj2323]

I'll say wood thrush.  I am guessing the look of gray in the picture is not their color.  Was it a cloudy day?

[Elliot]

Not a Wood Thrush.  It was a cloudy day...
