Bird identification series #1.

I thought that it would be interesting to see how many of these birds you can identify and from what part of the country they can be seen (indigenous).

I'm only sure that I like them! You will probably stump a few people on this one. I think I have one that might even stump you.

Molly- It does not take much to stump me. DUH!
I really like these photos, the next to last one. It has the most amazing, unusual colors.

Molly-- I believe this would be an Orchard Oriole and hangs out in the Northern States - Manitoba etc.. Nesting range to Southern Louisiana. In looking at the shot after posting, I wish that I had not tried changing the exposure in light room. When will I ever learn.

Oh boy I like these teasers, I like the photos too very good all of them.
Right lets have a go
#1 Scrub Jay Western USA
#2 Very difficult no clues but could be Bell's Vireo
#3 White Crowned Sparrow Breeds Alaska, Hudsons Bay, Rockies.
#4 Northern Oriole Eastern Form (Baltimore)
#5 Another difficult one but one of the Caridris sandpipers maybe a Western Sandpiper. Wet habitat West,Gulf and East coasts.
How am I doing?

apus--Doing great. #2 is yellow belled fly catcher. #4 is an Orchard Oriole and #5 is a sandpiper and #3 is indeed White Crowed Sparrow. Three out of 5 --good.

Yeah, but what species of sandpiper? And I'm not convinced about the orchard oriole. But if you say so.

apus--I am not a bird expert and I make mistakes but I think that the sandpiper is a "solitary" sandpiper. As for the Oriole-- maybe some one can help us out here. The reason I am doing this series is to make sure that I know what I am shooting and I am sure I am going to make some mistakes. I will learn from this.

Mytherwyn-- You came close. The first one is a scrub jay. Sorry I don't have prizes.
