1. Let's start with an easy species...a Downy Woodpecker. The question is...HOW can you tell this is a female? |
2. I pale in comparison to my male counterpart. Literally. |
3. Multiple females of the following species look similar to this bird, one species in particular. |
4. I'm brownish. Pretty much all of these species have brownish females. You're on your own... |
5. I'm pretty! Just not as colorful as a male of my species. |
6. I'm a female dabbling duck. Some are REALLY difficult, but I have some distinguishing features. |
7. I am wet and bedraggled a bit in this photo, but still pretty and colorful! Oh...and can I repeat, this quiz may not be totally fair? |
8. Yeah. Another dabbling duck. Good luck. |
9. Ok, you deserve a break. Even the females of my species are distinctive. |
10. I'm actually more colorful than my male counterpart. |
11. The orangish wash on my throat helps to separate me from my closest relative. |
12. Check that bill before deciding whether it's an Oriole or Tanager. Then...which one? |
13. You don't need help here. This is a species that used to be only found in one half of the country, but now can be found in both the East and West. |
14. Witchy-witchy-witchy calls drive me WILD!!! |
15. You know, male Blue-winged Teal kind of have a similar white patch in front of the eye. I ain't no Blue-winged Teal!! |
16. I'm similar to the male, but someone turned my 'saturation' color level down. |
17. I'm a brownish, blackbirdish type of species. ID me. I dare you. |
18. I'm a Belted Kingfisher female. Now that we've settled that...how can you tell I'm a female? |
19. Let's do that again. I'm a female Gilded Flicker. What distinguishes me from a male? |
20. Hint: I'm not a penguin. |
