The White-tailed Ptarmigan only fooled a few. The Lincoln's Sparrow didn't
present nearly the challenge as I thought.
But Photo Quiz 7 was the most difficult. All the field marks were clearly
visible. The bird is very common. Yet only 3 birders were able to correctly
identify it.
Don Roberson lists this bird as the most misidentified bird in Monterey
County, California, but I argue that this bird is the most misidentified in
the entire western US!
For Photo Quiz 8 I offer something easier. Maybe....
