June/July Photo ID Quiz
​Nature's Engineers

Picture
​Directions:​ Identify which species of bird built each nest. 
It’s that time of year when birds are searching for a mate and will be settling down to raise a brood. The migratory journeys, the flashy colors, and the beautiful songs have all been leading to this moment. Besides these wonderful characteristics and the amazing feats birds make, perhaps their greatest skill of all (and maybe the most important) is their nest building ability. Imagine building a nest with only your mouth and feet. It seems impossible, but birds do it effortlessly. Whether it’s intricate weavings of grass, a depression in gravel, or a few sticks thrown together, every bird builds or uses a nest. For this quiz, use clues such as material, habitat, and eggs, to identify which species built each nest. 
[Hint: each of these species breeds in Ohio.]
