Avery Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 On 12/14/2021 at 3:03 PM, Dan P said: OK, I'm going to get this challenge kick-started. A photo containing at least 2 species whose common names contain at least 2 different cardinal points of the compass: Northern, Southern, Eastern, Western. The two cannot be the same cardinal point. So if one is Eastern, then the other one needs to be either Northern, Southern or Western. I'm guessing subspecies don't count? ? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan P Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 Do you have a species with a common name containing a cardinal point, where the common name of the subspecies contains a different cardinal point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meghann Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 I can think of lots of combos I've seen, but don't know if I have photos. Like, I know I've seen a bluebird with a cardinal recently! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I was just asking because a bird that doesn’t have a Cardinal point in its common name may have one in its subspecies name. I’ve got limited options where I am ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve got limited options where I am ? In that case, I'd say it would qualify. Two different species -- the cardinal point can be in the subspecies name. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan P Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 I thought that last one was going to be fairly easy. I hope this next one is much easier. Challenge: A photo containing at least 2 different species whose common names start with a hyphenated descriptor that is composed of first a color and second a body part.
