Diabolical ID Quiz – Florida Edition

By February 10, 2012 7 comments

You all know the drill. There are three images of birds or parts of birds below and your job is to figure out what they are. Please use the complete common name of each species and indicate which image correlates to each of your answers when you put them in the comments. The winner gets [...]

A Disgustingly Diabolical Quiz

By September 11, 2011 7 comments

It has been quite some time since the last diabolical quiz and this quiz will more than make up for lost time.  Each and every image in this quiz was taken in the last week in Queens, New York.  You will never guess all three images correctly no matter how hard you try.  But if, [...]

Diabolical Avian ID Quiz: From A to Z in Queens

By March 15, 2011 40 comments

It has been quite some time since the last of the 10,000 Birds diabolical quizzes.  With Jory serving as our able Avian Quizmaster there seems to be less pressure to exercise the thinking parts of our readers’ brains so Mike and I end up serving mostly pablum instead of the difficult to swallow, absurdly impossible, diabolical quizzes. [...]

Answers to the Diabolical Fall Migration Quiz

By September 19, 2010 3 comments

Well played, well played all around.  Give yourselves a hand, birders.  Though it took a little prodding on Facebook several of you found the intestinal fortitude to risk looking foolish and being mocked by guessing the answers to the Diabolical Fall Migration Quiz.  Surprisingly, though at least one quiz-taker thought the quiz was indeed diabolical, [...]

Diabolical Fall Migration Quiz

By September 18, 2010 6 comments

After the last quiz, which proved to be not-at-all diabolical, I vowed to make the next one a doozy.  And I think I have succeeded.  There are four images below, all of which are migrant birds that have come through Queens in the last week.  Your task is to figure out which species is in [...]

Short, Kind-of Diabolical, Shorebird Quiz

By September 4, 2010 5 comments

I somehow think that this quiz will not be diabolical enough.  Or maybe it will be too diabolical.  I tend to misjudge these things, especially when my diabolicalibrator is in the shop.  Anyway, you know the drill.  Identify the birds in each picture in the comments.  First to get them all right wins the eternal [...]

Answers to the Flying Feeder Birds Diabolical Quiz

By March 13, 2010 4 comments

It has been nearly a week since the Flying Feeder Birds Diabolical Quiz was posted so I offer my apologies for the slightly late posting of the answers.  Though, in my defense, not many of our usually intrepid 10,000 Birds readers dared to guess the identities of the birds in the three images provided. Oh [...]

Flying Feeder Birds Diabolical Quiz

By March 7, 2010 5 comments

Just plain feeder birds are too easy for 10,000 Birds readers to identify, even in diabolical format, so this diabolical identification quiz features flying feeder birds!  The three pictures below all depict feeder birds doing that activity for which birds are known and envied, flying!  Can you name what bird is in each of the [...]

Birds on Plates Diabolical Quiz

By February 16, 2010 9 comments

First off, no, we will not be eating birds nor looking at birds that are about to be eaten in this quiz.  Instead, we will be looking at images of birds on porcelain plates that I saw in the Metropolitan Museum of Art on a recent visit.  Let me state for the record that I [...]

Miniature Moderately Diabolical Waterfowl Quiz

By February 3, 2010 18 comments

I am not too sure how difficult this quiz is but I guess we will quickly find out.  Here is a single picture of a single bird and your job is to guess what it is in the comments.  Obviously guesses like “duck” of “goose” are not specific enough (literally: we are looking for a [...]

Answers to the Diabolical to the Extreme! Quiz

By December 27, 2009 5 comments

“Diabolical to the Extreme!” was an apt name for the latest quiz, it turned out, mostly because the most any single person managed to get correct was three birds out of five. Nate, Donna, and noflickster managed that feat and will split the prize of a life bird per month in 2010, so each will [...]

Diabolical to the Extreme!

By December 22, 2009 17 comments

Though there is a long history of diabolical quizzes on 10,000 Birds it has been quite some time since we had one.   And though I have great confidence in those who faithfully follow the blog I think this one quiz might be a bit too diabolical for even the most knowledgeable of 10,000 Birds [...]

Forest Park Fall Migration Miniature Kind-of-Diabolical Quiz Answers

By September 4, 2009 3 comments

I thought that this quiz might be a bit easier than previous diabolical identification quizzes and I think I was right.  Not that I am trying to downplay the sheer brilliance of Jason, who managed to build off of Jochen‘s two-and-a-half correct answers and get all four right (amazing, simply amazing)!  Maybe my diabolicity is [...]

Forest Park Fall Migration and a Miniature Kind-of-Diabolical Quiz

By September 2, 2009 11 comments

Ah, the first day of September.  The air was crisp, clean and cool after overnight northerly winds, and the trees in Forest Park were alive with migrant wood-warblers that had been a couple of hundred miles north a mere twelve hours earlier.  As I strolled through the park the high-pitched twitterings of a big flock [...]

Answers to A Diabolical Quick Quiz

By July 17, 2009 3 comments

As promised, it is time for the answers to A Diabolical Quick Quiz which was posted way back on Sunday.  I must say that it was far more diabolical than I thought it would be, with only one of the three questions being answered completely correctly, though one could argue that the third was also [...]

A Diabolical Quick Quiz

By July 12, 2009 14 comments

All of the pictures here were taken at Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge today.  Please leave your guesses as to what species are depicted in the first two shots in the comments.  For the third picture I am just asking for the total number of species in the picture but if you want to list them, [...]

Yet Another Diabolical Bird ID Quiz Answers

By June 14, 2008 2 comments

Disappointing. That is the only word I can come up with to describe the answers provided by the folks who guessed at the identities of the birds in Yet Another Diabolical Bird ID Quiz. Sure, Jason, overlook, and bevson each managed to get two out of four correct, but that is still a failing grade [...]

Yet Another Diabolical Bird ID Quiz

By June 11, 2008 16 comments

Yes, it is time once again for that most dreaded of 10,000 Birds exercises, the Diabolical Bird ID Quiz. This time four small portions of passerines have been selected for your best guesses. The only clues you get are that all the pictures were taken in New York in the month of May. As is [...]

Answers to the Diabolical Bird ID Quiz

By November 15, 2007 6 comments

It is time to announce for the second time the results of the Diabolical Bird ID Quiz, seeing as the first answers post disappeared into the ether of the internets. I am happy to report that both John of A DC Birding Blog and Jochen of Bell Tower Birding earned the respect and admiration of [...]

By November 12, 2007 18 comments

Good luck on this one. All of the pictures were taken at my Aunt Bonnie and Uncle Paul’s house in Saugerties, New York, this past weekend. These are birds at bird feeders and they were photographed at close range with my macro lens. Can you get all three? First to do so will earn the [...]
