Colton V Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Must I win my own challenge? I’m sure I could find a crow or pigeon on a street light somewhere around here. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neilpa Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 1 hour ago, Quiscalus quiscula said: One month later... I'll toss one out than. Two birds named after two different people in the same shot, e.g. Brewer's * with a Cassin's *. I suspect there's an easy combo that I haven't considered. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stitch58 Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 Wow, that's tough! Could only find one; Cory's Shearwater & Wilson's Storm-Petrel 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueJay Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 The easiest one I could think of was a combination of Bonaparte's Gull, Wilson's Plover, and Forster's Tern. Now I just have to find a way to teleport to the beach. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if Audubon's Warbler would count... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's pretty much impossible if you're not at the right place. Not that many birds are named after people, especially inland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but Woodhouse’s Scrub-Jay with CLNU would have been much more likely. Lewis’s Woodpeckers are rare in the Springs area.

Probably the best contestants will be pelagic pictures, but for people inland, it'll be even harder. Baird's Sandpiper and something, maybe? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
