I didn't do well, but then again, I am not already a bird! (Unfair advantage to the Eagle)

That depends on how you measure success. I correctly identified them all as birds, so I'm feeling pretty good.

@Outdoor Lover :o
You were the one I had the highest hopes for.... :(

In case you were curious...
About 300 bald eagles migrate to Arizona in the winter each year.

:lol: Yeah...quite a few of those Birds aren't from around here, so even though I tried to remember some of the MN Residents, I didn't do very well...I should have known the Robin though.... ](*,) I still don't really classify myself as a Birder...more of a Photographer that shoots Birds and just likes to know a little about them because it can make shooting them easier... :sweat: Migrations? Yeah, haven't paid that much attention although some of the AZ Birds I know....

I got 5 out of 10. But I was guessing. I have done a bit of "birding" over the years, but have to admit I never paid much attention to migration patterns.

I think the boundaries between some of those categories is a bit soft, and therefore the categorization of species is inexact. Maybe I need to learn more to know whether that impression is accurate.

That's a big Part of where I was having Trouble...And, a lot of it was just my Inexperience with a lot of those Species that aren't found here in AZ....I suppose I could have looked them all up, but that kind of defeats the Point of the "Quiz".... :lol:
