We had 26 participants in this quiz. Click here to see original quiz. There were 12 people that thought it was a Cassin’s Kingbird, and another 10 that selected the Westen Kingbird. As both birds are very similar the confusion is understandable. I photographed the bird in the Davis Mountains, where the Cassin’s range.
I personally believe that is a Cassin’s, because of the darker gray of the head, and also the gray that goes lower down the breast. I also noted the white patchy molar.
I understand the large number that opted for the Western. It is the most common of the two in the state of Texas.
Watch for a new quiz soon.
