Guess the bird

[Chocky]

Could it be the
Ovenbird, Seiurus aurocapillus, ?

[rolf]

OK, think I've found it, Little Bunting - Emberiza pusilla

[Chocky]

Good . Yep that's it. Well done Rolf

[dig deep]

OK, think I've found it, Little Bunting - Emberiza pusilla

There You go in Swedish Dvärgsparv

Well done Rolf.

[dig deep]

Here is a special bird for You !

Very nice picture

[rolf]

Looks like a Honey Buzzard - Pernis apivorus.

[Chocky]

White headed Bald Eagle - Haliaeetus leucocephalus ?

[dig deep]

It´s a Honey


Bivråk European Honey Buzzard Pernis apivorus !

Nice bird

[dig deep]

Here is a special bird

[Chocky]

Prothonotary Warbler - Protonotaria citrea ?

[dig deep]

No, like I said - this is a Special bird

[rolf]

Nope, no idea I'm afraid, exhausted all of my search sources.

[Chocky]

Yellow Warbler - Dendroica petechia

[dig deep]

OKI, I´ll let You think about that bird for a while.

While You do that I can offer a new quizz

Baby birds again but I am sure those are easier to find.

Look how they live, a special bird house. They prefere this kind of house !

[Chocky]

Blackcap - Sylvia atricapilla

[dig deep]

They are black but not what I was looking for

[rolf]

Hmm, are they ducks of some sort?

[Chocky]

Wood Duck or Carolina Duck - Aix sponsa

[dig deep]

Water loving birds but no ducks

They live in water and eat from the sea

[Chocky]

Great Cormorant (Phalacrocorax carbo)

[dig deep]

No, Mrs and Mr bird has been in this game before

[rolf]

Red-breasted Merganser?


Sorry correction, just looked down the page in my book and it's the Goosander, Mergus merganser.

[Chocky]

Yep. You got there. I'll go along with tat Rolf. They are cute aren't they ?

[rolf]

Yep, a lot more cute than the parents, but even they are handsome in their own way.

[dig deep]

Storskrake (Mergus merganser)

Well done Rolf.

Now we go back to the other bird, here is a new picture. Good Luck !

[rolf]

OK, that I think is a Desert Wheatear - Oenanthe deserti, wouldn't imagine that we'll ever see one of those.

[dig deep]

Yes it is !


Ökenstenskvätta (Oenanthe deserti)


They just pop up to the north to breed so You must be quick

[dig deep]

Instead of having a break, strolling around in the woods I had to get back to work as I got a sick call early today.

So, why not ask about this bird

[Chocky]

Ruby-crowned Kinglet -Regulus calendula ?

[dig deep]

Well, it was a good guess but not perfect

[rolf]

I reckon it's an Arctic Redpoll - Carduelis hornemanni.

[Chocky]

I looked up Red poll but it also had a red breast.

But I didn't know about the Arctic one.
You got it Rolf. Well done

[dig deep]

I reckon it's an Arctic Redpoll - Carduelis hornemanni.

I can go for Carduelis but not the last one

[Chocky]

Lesser Redpoll - Carduelis cabaret ?

[rolf]

The females don't have a red breast Beryl.,

How about Carduelis rostrata?

[dig deep]

That´s more like it


Grönländsk gråsiska (Carduelis flammea rostrata

It´s from Island if You can trust the Swedish name, Grönland.

[dig deep]

So, what could this be ??

[Chocky]

Is that a Cuckoo Cuculus canorus ?

[rolf]

Looks more like a Kestrel without the patterning on the back and a smaller beak, it should be a Lesser Kestrel - Falco naumanni.

[Chocky]

yes.
Lesser Kestrel -Falco naumanni
Most probably
