Spring migration is on the way shortly, here is the link to a excellent resource if you are interested in learning your local birds or you plan on traveling to new areas and want to learn the local birds. You can customize your quiz to make as easy or hard as you wish. You can customize by state or country and it includes areas all over the world.

Hope you enjoy

Not albino, just a white phase of the bird. More common in Southern Florida, Caribbean, and Central American. Not very common in Wisconsin, that was definitely a cheat.
