New birder here, got 14 right. Cool to see how much I've learned in such a short time! A few months ago I didn't even know the songs of the blue jay vs cardinal, let alone what a tufted titmouse looks like.
I only got 13, but I've been living in Asia the past 7 years. Some things are unforgettable, though. The calls of the cardinal and robin are so distinctive I'd know them anywhere! A very nostalgic sound for me.
You can't be expected to know birds that don't live around you. I live in Tennessee so I know most of them, except the sparrows. Around here sparrows live in town and I live in the woods. Growing up, I called them "town birds". LOL
Very nice exercise. Thanks for putting this together. Further proof that I really need work on my sparrow call recognition. And the Kinglet got me too. I am still in awe of all the sounds that the American Robin can muster.
I got 23 out of 25. I missed the sound clips of the song sparrow and the red-bellied woodpecker. Both common birds, but for some reason, that rbwp especially, I did not recognize that sound! That's not the one I'm familiar with! 😅 I had fun with this quiz, though! I would love to see more of these, as well as more videos that teach us birds by sound. Thanks for these!
Same, I have tons of Red-Bellied woodpeckers around and that's not the calls I know for them, it's always the longish shrill/call, idk how to explain it lmao
That was fun. I only got 5 but I’m still proud because last week I would have only gotten 3. I’ll get better at this. I started watching birds 3 weeks ago.
21 out of 25. I don't have Grey Catbirds, Ruby Crowned Kinglets, or House Wrens in my area (that i know of). And my little song sparrow at home has a different little tune, so it threw me off. :)
I got 19 out of 25. All the ones I missed were the calls. I did know the towhee call because of you guys telling us the mnemonic device "drink your tea", so thanks for the help on that one.😄 Fun video, thanks!🙂👍👍
Got 22/25. Missed on sounds of RCKI, GRCA & HOWR. I have had all of these in my backyard except the Gray Catbird (3.5 years backyard observations, North Alabama) Great job guys! Really enjoy your varied content. 👏
23 out of 24. Got thrown by the Ruby-crowned Kinglet, of all things. I helped set up a blind in Dare County, NC one winter and got mobbed by a bunch that thought my cap was an owl. That is my lone tale of a terrifying encounter with North American wildlife,
Fun video! I like quizzes like this. I got 22 out of 25. I missed the red-winged blackbird, the ruby-crowned kinglet, and the gray catbird. I usually hear the red-winged blackbird and the gray catbird making calls instead of singing, I think. The ruby-crowned kinglet I don’t have too many of them and only during winter where I live, so I am not as familiar with its song.
22 out of 25 down here in NC. Them darn Sparrows trip me up, as usual!!! Lots of my favorites, Blue Jay, Gray Catbird, Titmouse, Cardinal.... Love them. This past Friday sfternoon we found a early fledge Blue Jay in the street, with a cat stalking it, and a fast approaching front that called for 2-3 inches of rain and very high winds. Based on all these factors, I moved the Baby BJ into a guest room with intentions to release it Sunday morning, if all went well. To make a long story short, I must say, Blue Jays have always been among my favorite bird species. After this past Friday, Saturday, and Sunday morning spent with that baby Blue Jay, I now have an incredible love for that species. That little bird brought me so much happiness, joy, amazement, and pride. It sounds silly. Two days and two nights is all I spent with lil Blue. From the first terrified bite of a Blue berry on Friday night to eating 5 whole crickets (halves to a bite) Sunday morning. From lil Blue hiding from, cowering from my touch, shaking with fear on Friday afternoon....To lil Blue following me around, flying up to and sitting on my shoulder, and not wanting to let go of my finger. All this by Sat night and Sunday morning. One highlight of the whole thing was using the Merlin App, lil Blue ignored ALL the Bluejay calls..... Except one, the ninth one down. When I played this series of Tick Tick calls, my lil Blue went berserk Mouth open wide, little wings cooked half up/half open and vibrating. Obviously, mothers signal that she had brought food! Later, sat afternoon, the rain and wind let up and I thought it was getting a little stuffy in lil Blues room. An hour later, an adult Blue Jay was hanging around outside Blue's window. Possibly Blue's Mom.?? Well, Sunday morning came and the weather cleared slightly. No cats were on patrol, so the coast was clear. Sadly, I took lil Blue across the street from my house to the yard closest to where Blue was found. A good omen, a Male Box Turtle was trying to climb the curb to get into the same yard. I placed Lil Blue under a hedgerow that included a Magnolia Tree. It was hard to let Blue go, it was also hard to get lil Blue to let me go. I've never been impacted by an animal so strongly and so quickly. Lil Blue was tiny. The fact that it could fly pretty well is misleading. its little tail feathers were about an inch long and its back and breast were both covered mainly with downy feathers. Lil Blue had no crest, but would raise tiny feathers on its head when excited. My favorite thing was how lil Blue, when holding on to my finger, or any perch, it would relax either one foot at a time, alternating left, right, left, right.....or sometimes it would relax and stretch one toe at a time. one after another. eventually lil Blue would fall asleep Golly Lee, I love that bird. I hope it's safe!
12. I knew several of the calls, especially the red-bellied woodpecker, cardinals and blue jays. Just so happens that I’m on my back porch watching birds and they are in my yard. They were confused. The male cardinal took off for a minute.
I got 22. I should've had 24 though, but for some reason I missed on the gray catbird and red bellied woodpecker (I still can't think of why). But there was no way I was getting Ruby crowned kinglet right. Surprisingly, that one would still be a lifer for me
Only got 14 right. I have lots of Mockingbirds in my area and they make a huge variety of songs, so I was stumped by the one in the video. Most of the other bird sounds I missed were due to the bird not living in South Florida.Great fun to do this exercise.
I got 11! Mainly the visuals but a few good guesses on the calls. I know Red-winged Blackbird because it always seems to be in the background of your videos…guessed American Robin based on structure and Gray Catbird was a complete guess…
I got 15 right. I’m disappointed in myself as I’m a “birder” in my yard. I see them all. I love my birds. Thanks for the lesson. MA. Southern New England.
20 despite living in the southwest thanks to the trip i took to upstate NY last month! i missed house finches even though they're always singing at my own house haha i recognized the grosbeak and tuftie immediately but haven't gotten them on my list yet, but i do have everyone else here now thanks to that trip downy woodpecker is a tricky one but luckily since i found one out there i had to learn the tricks for telling them apart from hairy woodpeckers
Fantastic job there Derek and Ryan you guys did fantastic job on this one , I got 23 out of the 25 within five seconds . The 2 Birds that threw me off with a sound of the House Finch because this one you have the Eastern call which is different than a western called and the other bird I didn't get was the sound of the Red-Bellied Woodpecker because we do not have them out here in the West .
I did terrible, but the calls of the Cardinal, Bluejay, and Robin were easy for me, among others. Visually, several were easy, but I recently moved here from Pacific Northwest where many of these don't reside. My backyard in Kentucky is full of different birds, trying to identify one that sort of looks like a phoebe, but a little less stubby and not as dark a head. Been sitting on a clothes line for hours, not making much noise, and occasionally gets excited and flies about 20ft, and right back! Aware of my presence but not intimidated.
Missed 4, mostly because they don't occur in my area. Eg, the towhee. I've seen 2, many years ago and forgot their sound. Also mistook the red bellied? woodpecker for a northern flicker. Etc. It was good. Made my poor old brain work, ie the calls/songs. All the visuals, and most of the songs I got.
Some of the birds like Song Sparrow, Junco, Grosbeak and Mockingbird have turned up as extreme vagrants to the UK, even this year. Eastern Bluebird is one we still await.
I got nine of the 25 which honestly isn't that bad with how different my local birds mostly are, heh. Though there were at least two where I was "oh is that what that sounds like" because I hadn't actually heard those birds calling but HAVE seen them, but I still didn't guess 'em. I might have said ten points if I took half a point for guessing "a wren" and "a nuthatch" haha! But the House Wren doesn't sound anything like a Carolina Wren of course (which is what I have here).
23/25 I've never heard the northern mockingbird make that call! Some are tough to differenciate. Missed the towhee, which isn't local to my region (Juuuuust a bit too north for them!)
11.5 because I wasn't specific enough with the nuthatch . I picked black-caped chickadee because you're from Wisconsin . In Louisiana we have both American Crow and Fish Crow which I can only tell the difference by sound. I picked American Crow for the same reason.
I got 18/25, which is way better than what I'd have done a year ago. I'm glad almost all of the ones I missed were calls: song sparrow (the ones you have out there sound a little different than the ones further east I guess!), ruby-crowned kinglet, American robin, house finch, house wren, and American goldfinch. The eastern bluebird is the only one I didn't recognize by sight, but it didn't look very blue in that particular photo and it's still a bit of a new bird to me that I've yet to see much in my home region.
@@OntarioBirding7538 Ooh I don't have one. But it basically the same without the trill. Sounds more like a bell then a towhee lol. Also have you ever heard a Tricolored Blackbird, those... those are crazy!
I got 23 right. Missed ruby crowned kinglet and red bellied woodpecker. I also couldn't tell what kind of crow that was. Could have been fish crow without hearing it. And I feel good that even though I'm in Carolina chickadee range, I thought it looked more like a black capped chickadee.
So that’s a red winged black bird. I’ve been hearing him since early spring but could never catch a glimpse of him. I’ve only seen him further along the road where someone removed miles of hedge row from around a near by cow field. so now I get to have him move into my wood ❤❤
I got 15 out of the 25. Missed a couple sparrows as I'm not too familiar with them yet and missed quite a few of the calls. The Red Bellied Woodpecker didn't sound like the one that frequents my feeders. Mine must have a Wisco accent. 😄 I've never seen a Towhee, so didn't get that one and the Bluebird looked more gray than blue in the pic, so it stumped me.
Westcoast birdwatcher here. I got a lot more than I thought I would. Putting the Mockingbird in at the end was sure sneaky. You couldn't find one mimicking a hawk or a car alarm?
Hard! The angles of some of the photos tripped me up and I failed to identify some birds that I know like the back of my hand. Also, when I go out to the feeder the redwing blackbirds start calling loudly, but it's not the song you played. It's the, "He's got food! He's got food!" call.
I live in Utah but still managed 23 out of 25. I missed Red-bellied Woodpecker and Gray Catbird (embarrassing because I Identified several today by the call).
Anyone know how to distinguish the two chickadees? I live in Central New Jersey, near Trenton, and they are literally identical and equally common where I like to go birding.
I'm kind of shocked I got 23 out of 25 considering I live in the Northwest. Of course, we have the Gray Catbird here and I still missed it. The other one was the Northern Mockingbird.
There is no sound for some of the bird songs. Made it very difficult to identify them ! Judging from the comments this is not happening for everyone. Not sure what the prob is. Any suggestions?
I got 16. I live in the woods and am not as familiar with the sparrows and that's mostly what I missed. I enjoyed this. I am having trouble identifying a bird that I now hear every day here. Twenty years ago when I could afford to feed the birds, I never heard this bird. It has 8 to 10 peeps starting low and getting higher all the way to the end. I don't see the bird, so I am stumped. Can anyone help me? I would sure appreciate it!!
Also out of curiosity, you do you east coast birds care at all about Nuttall's Woodpecker? Because like RBWO slipped out of my radar because they don't vagrant and I never see them, but I imagine it's similar to the NUWO in that sense, right?
New birder here, got 14 right. Cool to see how much I've learned in such a short time! A few months ago I didn't even know the songs of the blue jay vs cardinal, let alone what a tufted titmouse looks like.
Congrats on the progress! 🎓

22. There was one I genuinely didn’t know, and two that I was kicking myself over. 😂

That’s awesome!
I got 15/25. I did much better with pictures than songs. I'm learning though! Thanks for the quiz❤
21 out of 25. I don't have Grey Catbirds, Ruby Crowned Kinglets, or House Wrens in my area (that i know of). And my little song sparrow at home has a different little tune, so it threw me off. :)
Fun quiz to do ! I got 10 but i'm from Europe and we don't have the same birds here 😁
14/25. Much better at photo ID then sound ID
5!!! LETS GO BABY!
It’s better than 4!!!
I got 19 out of 25. All the ones I missed were the calls. I did know the towhee call because of you guys telling us the mnemonic device "drink your tea", so thanks for the help on that one.😄 Fun video, thanks!🙂👍👍
Love this video. The blue jay was so easy for me because hear them every morning
Nice quiz. I live in the western U.S. but was able to get 21 out of the 25.
I enjoyed this. More please!
Got 22/25. Missed on sounds of RCKI, GRCA & HOWR. I have had all of these in my backyard except the Gray Catbird (3.5 years backyard observations, North Alabama)
Great job guys! Really enjoy your varied content. 👏
Mockingbirds are so cute

Great little quiz. Got all the photo id's but missed the bluebird song
21! It was an amazing video. Even though I'm not a resident of US, it was a great warmup for me.
This is exactly what I need for practice. Thanks for the help! 🐦💞
I got 22. Fun to do! I will share it with friends.
22 out of 25 down here in NC. Them darn Sparrows trip me up, as usual!!!

I'm pretty happy with 10 considering I'm from Colorado and still new to birding!
Nice! Should I make a western one?
@BadgerlandBirding Yes! That would be awesome!
That was fun! I did get a few even though I live in the Pacific NW.
Loved the video, we got 21 correct! Missed on 4 audio clips….
I think I got 20.... But considering we don't have many of these birds, I felt okay with that. 🙂
Really enjoyed the quiz though 🙂👍

The Red Bellied Woodpecker call was a little off for me. Didn't sound like the ones I hear. Maybe regional dialect :)
I got 18/25. What I didn't do well on was the audio calls of birds that are only annual to infrequent birds to my area ( St. John's, Newfoundland).
Only got 14 right. I have lots of Mockingbirds in my area and they make a huge variety of songs, so I was stumped by the one in the video. Most of the other bird sounds I missed were due to the bird not living in South Florida.Great fun to do this exercise.

18/25 - Need to learn my calls. No idea how I missed Red bellied woodpecker, I am used to hearing the trill but I have heard that call before
I got 15 right. I’m disappointed in myself as I’m a “birder” in my yard. I see them all. I love my birds. Thanks for the lesson. MA. Southern New England.
I only got 4, but I live in Arizona and most are Central and Eastern. I have never seen some of these birds, but the video was fun.
I have never birded n the us, but I got 9/25 just by you guises videos...😋Next time time for a European one...😃
A European one would be fun!

My wife and I both got 15 out of 25. We're both still birders in learning and our exposure obviously needs some growing 😅

What a birdie day
I got all the photographic ones except Eastern Bluebird and none of the calls except Mourning Dove but then I'm from the UK!
That was a female Eastern Bluebird. A male might have been easier to identify.
Some of the birds like Song Sparrow, Junco, Grosbeak and Mockingbird have turned up as extreme vagrants to the UK, even this year. Eastern Bluebird is one we still await.

Missed 3!
Red bellied woodpecker is my nemesis bird😢
23/25 I've never heard the northern mockingbird make that call! Some are tough to differenciate. Missed the towhee, which isn't local to my region (Juuuuust a bit too north for them!)
Missed 5 of the calls, nailed the rest. Since I haven't visited the US since 2017 (Alaska) I'm getting a bit rusty on the calls...
11.5 because I wasn't specific enough with the nuthatch . I picked black-caped chickadee because you're from Wisconsin . In Louisiana we have both American Crow and Fish Crow which I can only tell the difference by sound. I picked American Crow for the same reason.

That RWBL had me tripping, they do not sound like that on the west coast. I *almost* missed that.
@@pauraque I am not familiar with their call in the west. Can you send me a video?
@@OntarioBirding7538 Ooh I don't have one. But it basically the same without the trill. Sounds more like a bell then a towhee lol. Also have you ever heard a Tricolored Blackbird, those... those are crazy!

And I feel good that even though I'm in Carolina chickadee range, I thought it looked more like a black capped chickadee.
15 out of 25.
23. I missed the red bellied woodpecker and for some reason got House Finch as Goldfinch, lol
LOL, same with me. I guessed the House Finch as Gold Finch but to be fair, they did sound fairly similar.
I got a 12! Can't believe I didn't get the robin but I did get the mockingbird Lol
So that’s a red winged black bird. I’ve been hearing him since early spring but could never catch a glimpse of him. I’ve only seen him further along the road where someone removed miles of hedge row from around a near by cow field. so now I get to have him move into my wood ❤❤

Westcoast birdwatcher here. I got a lot more than I thought I would. Putting the Mockingbird in at the end was sure sneaky. You couldn't find one mimicking a hawk or a car alarm?
Haha I might make an extra difficult quiz sometime. As a westcoast birder what are the most common birds you have in your backyard?
I got 23 points :)
Hard! The angles of some of the photos tripped me up and I failed to identify some birds that I know like the back of my hand. Also, when I go out to the feeder the redwing blackbirds start calling loudly, but it's not the song you played. It's the, "He's got food! He's got food!" call.

We did pretty well despite living in the PNW 👍
I'm kind of shocked I got 23 out of 25 considering I live in the Northwest. Of course, we have the Gray Catbird here and I still missed it. The other one was the Northern Mockingbird.
17/25 for me
23 I got ruby crowned kinglet and catbird wrong.
The Kinglet is tough
@@BadgerlandBirding yeah. I would have gotten the golden crowned I think but the ruby crowned isn't quite as common where I am
17 of 25 :-)
I got 21/25 :)
Solid!
12 over here
7 right. i really need some places to get learning msterial on bird calls. My ears are failing me.
We have a whole series on learning bird songs and calls!
19/25 need to sharpen up my birding skills.
18, would have been all of them if I weren't awful at birding by ear

There is no sound for some of the bird songs. Made it very difficult to identify them ! Judging from the comments this is not happening for everyone. Not sure what the prob is. Any suggestions?
Well, some are photo identifications, not audio. So, some you’re supposed to identify visually, others with audio. Does that make sense?
I got 16. I live in the woods and am not as familiar with the sparrows and that's mostly what I missed. I enjoyed this. I am having trouble identifying a bird that I now hear every day here. Twenty years ago when I could afford to feed the birds, I never heard this bird. It has 8 to 10 peeps starting low and getting higher all the way to the end. I don't see the bird, so I am stumped. Can anyone help me? I would sure appreciate it!!
Maybe a woodpecker call
P.s. the Red (pink) headed woodpecker we call him Ziggy Stardust. A red capped woodpecker we call Rod “Suet” 😂
24 out of 25. I have never really been out east before so I've only heard Red-bellied Woodpeckers a few times, and never that call.
I.expected.better
@@BadgerlandBirding 0/10 quiz, the other call of the RBWO ya know the "brrrrr" call is so much better
Also out of curiosity, you do you east coast birds care at all about Nuttall's Woodpecker? Because like RBWO slipped out of my radar because they don't vagrant and I never see them, but I imagine it's similar to the NUWO in that sense, right?
@@pauraque nobody said it was the “easy” songs and calls quiz
@@pauraque we do not really think about the Nutall’s lol
