  3. I was so excited to see how many backyard birds I could get right. I bought this gorgeous rock home that also has got one and a half acres. I knew that when I saw it I had to have a natural habitat. So just this year I was able to sit up some bird stations for all of the backyard birds. I have 3 bird poles and a birdbaths. I am so excited to be able to see all of the different birds from a special room I fixed just so I could watch them every morning while I am drinking my morning coffee. I have laughed so much at the squirrels that would climb up the pole to steal a few morsels from the bird tray but I had to end the fun by adding some baffles. I also had a raccoon climb up the pole and it managed to set in the bird tray and I actually got a picture of the raccoon. I also made a flower garden for the butterflies and bees

  6. You’ve helped me learn about the birds that come to my yard and I don’t know how to Thank you for that. But I do have a new friend that is coming this year and he is BEAUTIFUL!, a Yellow throat warbler. I started seeing pine warblers about 3 years ago but this has made my year. Thank you so very much for sharing your knowledge and advice with us.

  7. I have identified and photographed 85+ different bird species while watching my “junk-yard” feeder over the last 4 years and submitting the results to Cornell University’s E-bird program. I really do enjoy that hobby! I hope to publish a “local” bird guide including many pictures of each bird I have identified.

  10. It is SO not obvious which questions I got correct! The info below the pics is confusing. I need a direct “right/wrong” or something similar!

  14. I have been”told” repeatedly by the folks at Cornell University Bird program that we do not have Black-capped Chickadee in Southern Indiana . . . .

  19. Scott. I came across your quiz while googling for yellow colored desert flowers in Utah.

    I wanted to add some to my yard here in Utah.

    I liked your page and quiz. Thanks. I plan to check back often in my continued search for native plants for our desert landscape. I hope it will also attract more songbirds and maybe a few predators besides the beautiful Cooper’s hawks we see.

  20. Aced it! I love feeding the birds and have seen all kinds of juveniles growing up around my feeders. Lately we’ve had a visiting Cooper’s Hawk. I just wish he’d go somewhere else!

  22. Hello Scott

    My name is Shiralee and I live in the UK.
    I have tried to get as many birds correct in your quiz but they don’t all live in the UK.

    I have had a robin visiting my garden the last few days but we mostly get sparrows, starlings and wood pigeons. Sometimes we get blue tits but not very often.

    I do have a 7ft tall bird house with various feeders on it, seed, nuts, fat balls and suet blocks so there isn’t a shortage of food.

    I’m hoping that when I have turned my sambucca black lace from a bush to a tall standard tree I will be able to put a bird house at the top. I have some strips of rubber spikes to wrap around the trunk of the tree to stop the cats.

  25. Hi Scott, thanks for this website & the work you do. I have a pair of hawks living in my yard and in tree that towers above my house. I wish I knew what type of hawk they are. I have photos and videos of them & even one of their feathers.
