64 out of 100. I guess I better stick to eating pheasants. At least I can identify them. Bright side is you have a couple more snow days coming up…..lots of time to practice.

Thanks for posting, I got knocked off my high horse on 100 common WI birds, some tough plumages, and never knew there was an all white great blue heron, albino maybe? 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.

Northof50 that’s interesting, I didn’t realize that. during the salt trade many skins were sent in down Lk Manitoba on the boats, the families that harvested them did not it known where they came from. colonies found in the 1960 but salt harvest was till 1890's on Lk Winnipegosis the movie crew and actors from the Soprano's own land close to there
