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).

Northern Flicker, one of my favorites, except when they’re drumming on the eaves…..
Ditto
Northern Flicker. I like how each feather has a spot.
Yep, I 4th that ID 🙂
I know someone who says they are all dressed up in their “party coats” 😉
Ever notice female Kestrels have similar markings?
Yes this is a Northern Flicker!
