Idaho Bird Observatory: Part Three - Photo Quiz



Here are photos of birds-in-the-hand from my recent visit to the Idaho Bird Observatory up on Lucky Peak above east Boise.  Some of these birds will be very easy to identify and some will be a challenge.  The most important thing is to have some fun while sharpening your bird identification skills.  The answers will be posted in a few days.  You can click on the photos to enlarge them for a better and more enjoyable view.

Thanks again to the Idaho Bird Observatory for the great work they do and for allowing me to spend the morning with them.  I can't repeat my encouragement enough to invite you to visit the Idaho Bird Observatory and to support their work.
