Guess the bird

***Chocky*** · 26-06-2009

Could it be the
Ovenbird, Seiurus aurocapillus, ?

**rolf** · 27-06-2009

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

***Chocky*** · 27-06-2009

Good . Yep that's it. Well done Rolf

There You go

in Swedish Dvärgsparv

Well done Rolf.

**dig deep** · 27-06-2009

Here is a special bird for You !

Very nice picture

**rolf** · 29-06-2009

Looks like a Honey Buzzard - Pernis apivorus.

***Chocky*** · 29-06-2009

White headed Bald Eagle - Haliaeetus leucocephalus ?

**dig deep** · 30-06-2009

It´s a Honey

Bivråk European Honey Buzzard Pernis apivorus !

Nice bird

**dig deep** · 30-06-2009

Here is a special bird

***Chocky*** · 02-07-2009

Prothonotary Warbler - Protonotaria citrea ?

**dig deep** · 02-07-2009

No, like I said - this is a Special bird

**rolf** · 02-07-2009

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

***Chocky*** · 02-07-2009

Yellow Warbler - Dendroica petechia

**dig deep** · 03-07-2009

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*** · 03-07-2009

Blackcap - Sylvia atricapilla

**dig deep** · 03-07-2009

They are black

but not what I was looking for

**rolf** · 03-07-2009

Hmm, are they ducks of some sort?

***Chocky*** · 03-07-2009

Wood Duck or Carolina Duck - Aix sponsa

**dig deep** · 04-07-2009

Water loving birds but no ducks

They live in water and eat from the sea

***Chocky*** · 04-07-2009

Great Cormorant (Phalacrocorax carbo)

**dig deep** · 04-07-2009

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

**rolf** · 04-07-2009

Red-breasted Merganser?

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

***Chocky*** · 04-07-2009

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

**rolf** · 04-07-2009

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

**dig deep** · 05-07-2009

Storskrake (Mergus merganser)

Well done Rolf.

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

**rolf** · 05-07-2009

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

**dig deep** · 05-07-2009

Yes it is !

Ökenstenskvätta (Oenanthe deserti)

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

**dig deep** · 06-07-2009

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*** · 06-07-2009

Ruby-crowned Kinglet -Regulus calendula ?

**dig deep** · 06-07-2009

Well, it was a good guess but not perfect

**rolf** · 06-07-2009

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

***Chocky*** · 06-07-2009

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

I can go for Carduelis

but not the last one

***Chocky*** · 06-07-2009

Lesser Redpoll - Carduelis cabaret ?

**rolf** · 07-07-2009

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

How about Carduelis rostrata?

**dig deep** · 07-07-2009

That´s more like it

Grönländsk gråsiska (Carduelis flammea rostrata

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

**dig deep** · 08-07-2009

So, what could this be ??

***Chocky*** · 08-07-2009

Is that a Cuckoo Cuculus canorus ?

**rolf** · 08-07-2009

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

***Chocky*** · 08-07-2009

yes.
Lesser Kestrel -Falco naumanni
Most probably
