Diabolical ID Quiz – Florida Edition

You all know the drill. There are three images of birds or parts of birds below and your job is to figure out what they are. Please use the complete common name of each species and indicate which image correlates to each of your answers when you put them in the comments. The winner gets nothing but pride and the losers get nothing but shame. But those who view this quiz and do not answer will catch the bird flu and die – either that or bird uncontrollably for the rest of your life. Wait, you probably are already going to do that…

Anyway, here are the images, all taken when I was in Florida at the end of January for the Space Coast Birding and Wildlife Festival:

Diabolical? Not diabolical enough? Too diabolical?  Whatever your thoughts, good luck!

Corey is a New Yorker who lived most of his life in upstate New York but has lived in Queens since 2008. He's only been birding since 2005 but has garnered a respectable life list by birding whenever he wasn't working as a union representative or spending time with his family. He lives in Forest Hills with Daisy, their son, Desmond Shearwater, and their indoor cat, B.B. His bird photographs have appeared on the Today Show, in Birding, Living Bird Magazine, Bird Watcher's Digest, and many other fine publications. He is also the author of the American Birding Association Field Guide to the Birds of New York.

    Ok, I’m gonna give this a whirl. I’m fairly confident in at least 1 of my 3 guesses. So here it goes: Sora, Eastern Screech Owl, Savannah Sparrow.

    Remember my New Year’s resolution? “To show Corey how the cow eats the cabbage”.
