Several good guesses on our July 22, 2019 Quiz Bird–but only one correct response.

The great global birder and photographer Jean-Philippe Thelliez correctly identified the Sepia-capped Flycatcher! Bien joue mon ami.

Please continue to send you potential Quiz Bird photos to:

Most of our Quiz Birds are shown through a photograph that displays only part of the bird; or from an odd angle; or with imperfect lighting.

Not this one!

Shown below is a near perfect photograph of our new Quiz Bird.

If you can identify this bird send your answer to:

eltangaral@gmail.com

Good luck.

We had some very learned guesses to the July 7th Quiz Bird but unfortunately none were correct.

The lack of correct guesses may be due to my bad drawing (see below).

The correct answer is–Marbled Wood Quail! See, there are actually two birds feeding on the ground.

Stay tuned for our next (and real) Quiz Bird coming on Monday, July 23.

This Quiz Bird may be rather difficult to identify. Shown below is not a photograph; it is a drawing, made from a distant sighting.

If you can identify this bird send your response to:

eltangaral@gmail.com

Or even better…send me proper Quiz Bird photograph and maybe we’ll use it!
