That means it's @Bird Brain's turn! (If you don't want to choose you can pass to someone else) Do to that I just pick a challenge I would like to defer to @akandula. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you would like me to pick the next challenge? Wow, I didn't even win anything. Thanks for the opportunity! The next challenge will be to take a photo that has two different introduced species in it. Example of introduced species include House Sparrows, Rock Pigeons, European Starlings, Mute Swans, Cattle Egrets, Eurasian Collared-Doves, Ring-necked Pheasants, etc. This should be easy... good luck! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I see EUST & HOSP every single day - now just to get them to pose and wait for me to run get the camera Or maybe I can get a Starling to attempt a raid on my resident nesting House Sparrows - they are already on round two for the year - kicked the fledglings out and 5 new eggs last I checked the other day.

House Finch are introduced to the Eastern USA, basically anywhere east of the rockies. Mourning Doves are native across the US, but Eurasian Collared Dove are introduced.
