RE: Bird Quiz

How about a Spotted Redshank in Summer plumage??

Do as you would be done by. Do as you would be did. A burning pot is mighty hot, so don't sit on the lid.

My shot in the dark is a 'Red-necked Grebe', although i think the bill is to light in colour.

RE: Bird Quiz

It's a Western Grebe, I think. Although I haven't yet travelled far enough west in the states to have seen one.......
