September/October 2020 Bird ID Photo Quiz
"Birds from Detroit"
by Travis Kaye, OYBC NW Chapter

(Click image to enlarge.)

Directions: Identify each bird species.

Bird 1: This is a bird that can be found in Ohio and Michigan during fall and spring migration. This bird's population increased drastically during the deforestation of the United States.

Bird 2: This is a bird that you can see almost anywhere, however, they prefer marshy habitats.

Bird 3: This species prefers field habitats, but through my own observations I believe they are adapting to humans and now can live in semi-open areas.

Bird 4: This is one of the first birds to arrive in Ohio during spring migration and is one of the last migrants to leave in the fall.
