Halloween Bird Search

peggy in Minnesota — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 20:37:42 GMT

Here is a photo of a very busy shrub. For birds that eat berries, it is the destination. For other birds, it is a staging area to and from the bird feeders in the foreground. There are four species of birds in the photo. Can you find them? What are the different species, and how many birds are there of each species? There is also a "bird ghost" watching you through the leaves! Can you find it? It's not a real bird, just a ghostly figure that looks like one.

P.S. Don't count the one bird perched on the feeder.

find the bird

This should be an easy one for you pros. Don't say where it is just what it is.

name the odd pair

Matt — Sat, 05 Sep 2009 19:00:44 GMT

Sorry for the poor quality.... early morning and overcast.

More odd-ness

Female House Finch with her feet bent up. I only saw her one time, and was fortunate enough to be able to get some photos.

Find That Bird - Round (??)

lyceel — Sun, 30 Aug 2009 04:49:50 GMT

I lost track of the round count, but no matter. This one shouldn't be that hard, but hopefully it'll be fun.

As always, Please post only the bird's ID, not where it's located in the photo

Find the bird

Obnates — Wed, 12 Aug 2009 17:10:33 GMT

Normally I wouldn't post one of my own of these, but I just got what I thought was a good but solvable picture for this type of quiz....

Remember, as is standard for these quizzes on here, name the bird only and not the location.

HINT: The bird in question is horizontally in the center of the photo and vertically in the upper half.

my quiz

Danny Collins — Sun, 16 Aug 2009 00:18:38 GMT

I know what the smaller bird is, The big bird I don't know. So, what is the smaller bird?

Find that Bird Round 12

Corbett — Tue, 21 Jul 2009 14:51:49 GMT

Taken in MA last week. (Plymouth Beach, to be specific)

I think this could give some people trouble, but I don't know.

Strange, odd or flat wrong

Matt — Thu, 30 Jul 2009 22:06:09 GMT

Edit: I filled in the remaining blanks.

This may not work but I will give it a try. State what is strange, odd or wrong about each of the following pictures.

Edit: Some of this is too deep. I have rethought this and will place correct answers as they appear next to the picture number. You can respond more than once or only on one picture.

Picture #1 Species: Jim Penny male Brown-headed Cowbird Oddity: Jim Penny paired with a female bronzed cowbird

Corbett — Thu, 04 Jun 2009 19:59:38 GMT

This one is not as good as some that lyceel had, but the bird is still sort of hard to find.

Taken on Jones Beach, NY last February

Too easy?

lonestranger — Thu, 25 Jun 2009 03:18:00 GMT

If I didn't know what I was taking pictures of at the time, I don't think I could have easily made an ID from this pic. It might be too obvious for some, but it might be fun for other newbies like myself.

Just a silhouette

Matt — Mon, 15 Jun 2009 22:06:13 GMT

I was watching a hummer preening. The only angle I had was with the sun behind the bird. When I got a closer look at the picture I was very pleased with myself. I realize this is an all or nothing, but here goes.

Lyceel's "Find That Bird"

lyceel — Fri, 29 May 2009 04:14:06 GMT

Ever take a picture of a bird that you didn't know was there, only to find it when you get home? That's what this quiz is all about!

Only one rule: You can only post the ID of the bird, not where it's located in the picture! This will give others a chance to play.

After a couple of days, I'll post a second picture highlighting the subject.

We'll start off with a relatively easy one (click for a full-size view):
