Quiz #2 – Final Results

Here we go again.  This second quiz garnered more votes than the first one, so it seems that the interest in them are growing.  I, for one, am really enjoying them, but of course I have an advantage.  I know the answer.  But I hope more of you are starting to use some photo guides to help you along.  It is not cheating to do so.  I encourage it.  This is the original picture that you were asked to identify.

Spotted Towhee

So after a world-wide vote of 84 votes, here is the final tabulation:

1. Spotted Towhee                                 39
2. Black-headed Grosbeak                  19
3. American Robin                                18
4. Orchard Oriole                                     7
5. Dark-eyed Junco                                 1

The correct answer is Spotted Towhee.  That means that nearly half of you readers got it right.  That’s not bad, as the wrong answers were birds that are very similar. as these pictures show.
