I guess I'll give a point to both of you, it's a Carolina Chickadee. So you both got it kinda right.

Okay. . . I stand corrected. It's an American Robin.

The next quiz (should be posted later today) will be of a bird not native to NA. . . so it should be harder.

This one is harder. If you get the family right you get a point. If you get the exact species right then you get three points.
