birdQUIZ
Welcome everyone to the birdQUIZ blog that will help you with your bird identification skills. Feel free to use any kind of reference you have available for your identification (Sibley’s Field Guide is recommended)!! Good Luck Everyone!
If you need spoilers click on the comments but I strongly suggest that you try to identify the bird first before moving down to see what answers have been given already. The person who commented could be wrong!! Most or all of these birds have been identified in the hand already and we know the answer (unless we say we don't know the answer).
Meet the Contributors:
Please note that we will not be updating this on a daily basis and started it because we thought would be fun to do. Please check out the main blog at "Mon@rch's Nature Blog" and "The Ovenbird"

I will guess Downy woodpecker too.
So….it’s not cheating to use the field guide?

No of course it is not cheating to use a field guide! I use one all of the time!

Yes this is indeed a Downy woodpecker, the spots are what make it a Downy and not a Hairy!
