It's back for another round!
Thank you to David and Josh for posting replies to the quiz from last week!They more than aced the quiz, identifying all 4 species I was looking for and more. They also included the times when the birds sang, which was a great idea!
Well done guys and I hope you keep it up because I learned a lot from your comments!
Anyway, if you haven't had a chance to try the Quiz #1 it is below, along with the answers.
But first, here's Quiz #2:
This recording is from New Hampshire, but all the birds in the recording are typical breeding birds of Ontario and Newfoundland (and everywhere in between)!
Clue: I'm looking for 6 additional species along with Yellow-bellied Flycatcher (there are more that I can't quite figure out). Additional clues in the comments section if you want!
Quiz #1:
With answers:
The four birds I was looking for were (and in brackets the first time the bird can be clearly heard):
Alder Flycatcher (0:08)
Nashville Warbler (0:10-0:12)
White-throated Sparrow (0:03-0:05)
Song Sparrow (0:18-0:19)
There were some other bonus species (i.e. I didn't find them until David or Josh pointed them out) including:
Chestnut-sided Warbler (0:16)
Yellow-rumped Warbler (0:30)
American Redstart (this one was difficult but I can convince myself there is one at 0:04 and more clearly at 0:16)
It would be great if others made similar quizzes! It's an easy way to keep the blog going and it would really help me learn :)
