What subject are you a nerd in?

[R2elk]

I know, I know! I know this one! It's ... an OWL.

Yes, but what kind?

 

[HorseGirlAbby]

It is an oriole but not a Baltimore Oriole.

Bullock’s oriole? That’s the only other oriole I know about

Not a Towhee.

Ovenbird?

Towhee but which kind?

Eastern?

 

[R2elk]

Could be great horned owl, but I can’t tell the size well enough.

Not a Great Horned Owl.

 

[EverythingDucks]

Ok nerds what is this?

Spoiler

Tiliqua scincoides.

 

[R2elk]

Looks like a midget to me.

It's tiny. The branch it was sitting on was maybe 1/4" diameter.

Based on the ear tufts, I have to say Great Horned, but the pic isn't doing it justice.

 

[R2elk]

Yeah…maybe a burrowing owl or screech owl

Neither

Bullock’s oriole? That’s the only other oriole I know about

One point for being the first to identify the Bullock's Oriole.

Ovenbird?

Negative

Eastern?

Negative

[HorseGirlAbby]

Not an Evening Grosbeak.

Black headed grosbeak. I cheated

Not a warbler.

Female Ruby crowned kinglet?

Neither

I give up on the owl. I think it’s a tiny cute little baby owl
