January/February 2020 Photo Quiz
"
Bits & Pieces"
Presented by our partners at Sabrewing Nature Tours

Picture
Directions: Identify each bird species. ​

Many times in the field we are not granted the opportunity to fully see every bird we look at. Many times a bird's environment may make things challenging to see the bird out in the open, so you may only get a glance at a wing, or see part of the head. It's good to work on the bits and pieces of each bird so when you can't see everything you still have a place to start. Tip: All of these birds are regularly seen in Ohio. 
To submit your answers send an email to info@ohioyoungbirders.org with [January/February 2020 Quiz] in the subject line or, mail in your answers to OYBC Photo Quiz,13551 W. St. Rt. 2, Oak Harbor, OH 43449.

Winning entries will be put into a drawing to win a copy of
a Kaufman Field Guide, a mystery field guide chosen by BSBO staff,
​or a Black Swamp Bird Observatory cap!
PLUS assorted birder swag from our amazing sponsors!
​* Must be an OYBC member to be eligible to win a prize
