Bird ID Quiz
Here's a fun ID quiz for y'all. All photos were taken in the fall of 2008 in NJ. Please leave your guesses in the comments. Sorry, no prizes available. Photo 4 may cause some debate based on what I've cropped out of the pic, but the others should be relatively easy. Thanks to Anthony Laquidara for pics 1,3,4,5 and to C. Takacs for pic 2.

You folks are just too smart! Jason pegged it. Great job! Nice job to everyone who agreed with Jason too.
The Wheatear was a one-day-wonder at Garret Mountain on 10/3/08. I didn't see it because I was on my honeymoon.
Uh.... shorebirds?
