I'd be surprised if GBBG was a lifer for you. Maybe something weird like Slaty-backed

I am absolutely FLOORED that nobody got the gull. I really thought that it would have been the first thing that was guessed.

And yes, the gull in the front IS a GBBG, but that's not the lifer.

The two sparrows are different birds.

Okay, so we've got #1 correct. Someone also got one of the two sparrows correctly.

So who can come up with the correct answers for #2 and #3?
