Quiscalus quiscula Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 Argh I didn't do well on this one...I really lack the experience, having only seen 3 species of ducks. Hopefully I can get more ducks here some time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liam Posted February 17 Author Share Posted February 17 I updated the scoreboard. 1pt awarded to those who guessed any species in Anatidae for 1b. It's really difficult to ID to species from the picture, even though it's almost certainly a Mallard or Green-winged Teal. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liam Posted February 17 Author Share Posted February 17 4 minutes ago, IKLland said: Just wondering. Why wasn’t it a gadwall? Disregarding the location, I think with the detail we have, it very well could be a Gadwall or Shoveler or Green-winged Teal! Hence, my (our) decision to revert the ID to Anatidae sp. But Kevin says he has never had anything but Green-winged Teal and Mallard in this particular pond, so we know it isn't Gadwall or Shoveler. I can't expect anyone to be able to know that except Kevin, though, so it wouldn't be fair to count points for species when it can't be identified to species by the photo alone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liam Posted February 20 Author Share Posted February 20 Here's a good hint, y'all. Bird #4 is NOT a Veery. Think outside your typical field guide for that one! 😉 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Connor Cochrane Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 I'm pretty sure I know what this is, I was think of submitting a photo of one but I thought it would not be included in the rules for Liam's Quiz. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirVive Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 I was pretty sure it wasn't any of the usual suspects but didn't even know where to start looking elsewhere 😣 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liam Posted February 21 Author Share Posted February 21 Thanks everyone for your participation! I'll be going through and counting points and sending prompts to users who haven't guessed yet (if there are any). Answer and scoreboard will be up later today. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liam Posted February 21 Author Share Posted February 21 Still waiting on 5 users. I should really send prompts 24 hrs ahead of time, but I forget. Busy grad student and all. I'm honestly quite surprised at how challenging people find Catharus thrushes. I thought it was just me because of my color-sight deficiency! I'm glad we're all able to learn a little more about their ID! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liam Posted February 21 Author Share Posted February 21 (edited) Y'all have any preference on what we should do for the next quiz? Orioles? Snoss's Gooses? Edited February 21 by Liam Oooh! How about Gulls?? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t care, as long as it’s NOT gulls. ( if you really want to you can though.. ) I’d like female orioles, as that’s one of my weak spots. Hummingbirds could be good too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you still need photos of Finches (Purple/Cassin’s/House) and Swans? Forgot to dm you some when you put that out a week ago. I have a few of the above Sp I’ll send tonight as well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
