Bird ID Game

[Corkscr.ew]

This is a game where you can post photos of birds and see if other members can identify them. (They don't have to be parrots) Whoever correctly identifies the bird gets to post the next picture. I'll start:

What trickery is this? The Hoatzin is the only wing claw member of the Avian family. This appears to be some type of plover.

Red-eyed hornwing?

 

[Rozalka]

Southern lapwing?

you're right (yesterday I checked it because I was too curious what it is, I just didn't answer because it would be unfair)

It's an oriole. I looked it up and think I know which one but that probably cheating.

Not an oriole

 

[DonnaBudgie]

Looks like one. I'm no bird expert. What country are they found in?

Peru. They're extremely endemic.

 

[DonnaBudgie]

No wonder I don't know. Never been to Peru.
I looked it up but won't reveal if that's cheating. Unless we have a member from Central or South America looking it up may be the only way to identify it.

 

[DonnaBudgie]

Before I said oriole I almost said some sort of "what it is". We have an American version that's similar.

You can reveal it since no one else has replied

 

[DonnaBudgie]

I thought it was an oriole then I taught it was a redstart but it's a golden backed Mountain Tanager.

Unless you're a wild bird expert or live in Peru you'd never know it.
