Liam Posted May 22 Author Share Posted May 22 Thanks to those of you who participated! This week's answers are: 1) Greater Pewee - from Cochise County, AZ in May 2017 2) Greater Pewee - from Harris County, TX in October 2021 3) Western Wood-Pewee from Union County, OR in July 2016 Greater Pewee can be very similar to Wood-Pewees, but have a more peaked or crested crown seen in photos 1 and 2. They also have less contrasting wingbars. In photo 2 we see that the crown is not peaked or crested, so we can assume it is a Wood-Pewee. Eastern and Western are not really distinguishable by plumage, to my knowledge, so based on my hint for location, Western is a good guess. Pewees can be differentiated from Empidonax spp. by their darker plumage (kinda smoky gray), very long primaries, and smudges on the undertail coverts (to a lesser extent on Greater). Here's the scoreboard! https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1O-lJlp8rr2VAK3CFkMpCkMB-ayTbV7Us/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=104899496886098762905&rtpof=true&sd=true 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulK Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 I've never done so poorly on a quiz in my life! Might as well have been asking about fish species. 😆 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
