Raptor Quiz and Koll Wetlands

Okay, here is the quiz. What are these two Raptors?
Be sure to leave a comment with your answer.






Now, while you're finding the quiz out here is some action from Koll Wetlands.

This is a panoramic photo from the rock table that is there.

A Song Sparrow by the water.

Mallards going in the water.

When I reached the bank of the pond I accidentally scared away this Green Heron.
Can you see him?

Great Blue Heron and Mallards.

Great Egret and Common Mergansers.

I'm bad a raptor ID, but I think your cormorants might be Common Mergansers. Take a look in your book and see. After my trip to Koll Wetlands and Commonwealth Lake, I have been studying them in my field guide. They sure are cool, huh!?

Okay, I guess Red-tailed Hawk (if I am right it is because I think your mom gave it away in the shop yesterday) :) Happy Thanksgiving!
