Another BirdNote Quiz
Written by Chris Peterson

This is BirdNote.

Do you like to guess the bird before we identify it? Then here’s a short quiz for you. OK, here we go:

Bird One: [Song of the American Robin]

Yes, that’s the song of the American Robin. 

Bird Two: [Call of the Olive-sided Flycatcher]

The Olive-sided Flycatcher. In a few weeks, these flycatchers will leave for their wintering grounds in South and Central America.

 All right, here comes Bird Three: [Cry of the Red-tailed Hawk]

Yup, that’s the cry of a Red-tailed Hawk soaring overhead.

How about this one? [Call of the Steller’s Jay]

Did you answer “Blue Jay?” Uh-uh! Nope, this is the Steller’s Jay. If you’re west of the Rocky Mountains, you’re most likely to hear the Steller’s Jay. East of the Rockies, you’ll hear the Blue Jay.

         [Call of Blue Jay]

Let’s run through them again:

         [Song of the American Robin] 

American Robin…

         [Call of the Olive-sided Flycatcher] 

Olive-sided Flycatcher…

         [Cry of the Red-tailed Hawk] 

Red-tailed Hawk…

         [Call of the Steller’s Jay] 

Steller’s Jay, and ... 

         [Call of Blue Jay] 

...Blue Jay.
