BIRD ID QUIZ #4-WATER BIRDS
BEFORE YOU HIT THE SLIDESHOW TAB IN THE UPPER RIGHT TO BEGIN, PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING. GREETINGS FELLOW BIRDERS AND PHOTOGRAPHERS. AS MANY OF US ARE HOME OR CLOSE TO HOME I THOUGHT I WOULD CHALLENGE YOUR BIRD ID SKILLS. ALTHOUGH I ENJOY PHOTOGRAPHING ALL TYPES OF BIRDS AND WILDLIFE, MY FAVORITES ARE DUCKS AND SHOREBIRDS. I ENJOY BEING NEAR AND SOMETIMES IN THE WATER, ESPECIALLY AT THE SHORE. THERE ARE 76 SLIDES HERE OF 38 SPECIES OF "WATER BIRDS" FOUND ALONG THE EAST COAST OF THE UNITED STATES. ALL OF THE IMAGES WERE TAKEN FROM MAINE TO FLORIDA. THE BIRDS I ENCOUNTER ARE RUDE. MANY TAKE OFF, TURN THEIR HEADS AWAY OR BURY THEIR HEADS IN THE SAND. SO HERE IS HOW THIS QUIZ WORKS. EACH SLIDE WILL BE ON THE SCREEN FOR 4 SECONDS. THE FIRST SLIDE WILL SHOW THE "BUTT" VIEW OR THE FACE WILL BE PARTLY HIDDEN. THE NEXT SLIDE WILL SHOW A COMPLETE BIRD WITH THE PROPER ID. SOME OF THE BIRDS WILL BE DIFFICULT TO ID-ESPECIALLY THE TURNS.
THE FIRST FEW SHOULD BE EASY FOR YOU AND ARE A CONFIDENCE BOOSTER. LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK; THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE UGLY-GOOD LUCK. HIT THE SLIDESHOW TAB IN THE UPPER RIGHT TO BEGIN.
