Four of a kind...** - UP AND RUNNING AGAIN March 2016!

[Curtis Hart]

As requested, here's my poor picture of a Chestnut-mandibled Toucan from Sirenia Station.


Red-capped Lark, Barberspan Bird Reserve, South Africa.

White-capped Dipper (Mindo, Ecuador)

[chrish]

What? No one has a photo of a Chickadee? The ones I have are all Carolina, but surely someone has a Black-capped Chickadee.

[nightdriver]

I'm capped-less

[periglenes]

Ive got the BCCH photo but no idea what to play next... So I didn't want to finish a 4-of-a-kind and not move us on.

[periglenes]

Here's your Black-capped Chickadee




Now, somebody start the next turn, because I don't have any idea what would be good, and my supply of photos is depleted...

-Frank

[Rags]

If I may, bird's names with a country included, with the exception 'America' which has already gone before...

With no shame I'll take the easy one.



CANADA Goose

[Curtis Hart]

Indian Peafowl

[chrish]

I have a bunch of New Zealand candidates, but I'll use one I haven't used before.
This is my only photo (and sighting) of a New Zealand Grebe:

[Rags]

I thought about ending up with a Turkey Vulture but have opted for this rather distant Woodpecker seen in Bulgaria.


Syrian woodpecker takes on a wall.

How about two colours linked with 'and'...


Black-and-red Broadbill (Cymbirhynchus macrorhynchos) photographed in Sabah, Borneo.

[chrish]

That Broadbill is cool. Even though it is a long way off, it is a great photo. It really gives a sense of what it would be like to see that bird in the wild!

This one is going to be tough, I think. There are a number of "color"-and-"color" birds in the world, and I've seen a few of them but I don't have photos of anything except the only US species. So I am taking the low-hanging fruit...

Black-and-white Warbler



I might have a blurry photo of a Black-and-yellow Silky Flycatcher somewhere, but otherwise I'm out of this one.

Hope I haven't painted us into a corner here. Anyone got Macaw photos?

[AsydaBass]

Well, the rules say that I can't follow my own, but I have another one to add if the committee allows it

After 24 hours, you can go again. 24 hours has passed (and then some).
So, finish this one off.

[chrish]

I guess I'll have to dig out a zoo shot to get this one done.....

[Andy Avram]

Well darn, I thought I had a picture of a Blue-and-white Swallows from Costa Rica. Must have been in the one memory stick that died on me on that trip...

[AsydaBass]

This is a terrible shot, but here it is

Black-and-yellow Silky-flycatcher (Phainoptila melanoxantha)



and we'll move on to Barred

Barred Becard (Pachyramphus versicolor)

Barred Owl

Damn, didn't get in early enough to get the Barred Owl.

Barred Becard? That's an awesome bird name (and bird!).

Here's a blurry shot of my only other Barred bird I have photographed -

Northern Barred Woodcreeper (Calakmul, Campeche, MX)

[Curtis Hart]

It's been awhile. This past winter, I decided to try to get a photo of a "barred" bird. When I finally saw one, I realized that I've had a photo of this bird all along. It just took going back to Sulawesi to remind me.

Barred Rail



I had to look around a bit to find a decent new category. I think we can manage Horned.
Here's a Horned Screamer from Venezuela.

[nightdriver]

Glad to see this running again...

Horned puffin

[herpseeker1978]

Great Horned Owl

[chrish]

Glad to see this resurrected! I had forgotten where it died. Turns out I had another "barred" bird photo I took more recently, but since it has another part to its name I'm glad I saved it in case that comes up.

I do have a somewhat lame Horned bird... Horned Lark (juvenile)

And the new word to incorporate is...............PYGMY

There are few north American species and I have a couple non-US species if we get stuck.

One of my favorite anseriform birds, the Cotton Pygmy-Goose
(I had to cheat here for now.....I have a photo of a wild one but I can't access it here. This is a captive bird, I will replace it with a wild one later)

[Curtis Hart]

American Pygmy Kingfisher


I think I have a couple more Pygmys.

[Curtis Hart]

It has been a week, so here's a pair of Pygmy Falcons from Ethiopia.

[nightdriver]

I've got one.....somewhere. Give me a hour.

Pygmy nuthatch


Let's try Cinnamon teal

[nightdriver]

for Pete's sake... don't tell me I screwed us up again....

[Curtis Hart]

I've seen maybe 3 or 4 species with Cinnamon in the name. The only one I have a photo of was the one you posted. If we don't get any more in a week or so, we can try something else.

[nightdriver]

I'm calling cinnamon as dead ....

How about

White-faced Ibis

White-faced Whistling Duck I have at least one more for faced.
