Outdoor Writer Report post Posted February 10, 2008 Okay, let's have a little fun. I had posted several threads on another site that contain photos for folks to ID and thought some of you here might enjoy doing such. Sooooo...here we go. I have included a numbered list at the end of this message, which you can just copy/paste into a reply with your guesses after each entry. PLEASE do not reply with a QUOTE where all the images are duplicated again. That makes for very slow load times. Since there is no "lounge" type or photo section on this site, I'll use this one for all the quizzes. We'll start with some birds. I'll toss in a few gimmies so no one feels left out. Please be SPECIFIC in your answers for each bird or critter as to species and/or subspecies. -TONY BIRD #1 BIRD #2 BIRD #3 BIRD #4 BIRD #5 BIRD #6 BIRD #7 BIRD #8 BIRD #9 BIRD #10 BIRD #1 - BIRD #2 - BIRD #3 - BIRD #4 - BIRD #5 - BIRD #6 - BIRD #7 - BIRD #8 - BIRD #9 - BIRD #10 - Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Outdoor Writer Report post Posted February 10, 2008 NRS, You're close but no cigar yet. You missed #4 and #9. Coues Sniper, You won a date with this young lady: Silent, Yup, an immature mourning dove not long out of the nest. The photo was taken in a date palm I used to have in my front yard. The nest was in it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
