Monday Nature Mystery
 

We are pleased to announce the winner of last week's Monday Nature Mystery, Laura Ann Poppendeck!

Along with the ‘superflight’ finch invasion this year, we have had an abundance of Red-breasted Nuthatches (Sitta canadensis) in our area. These tiny bundles of energy can be found at feeders as well as cone-bearing trees. Listen for their distinctive call, ‘yank! yank!’

Each Monday we’ll post a new photo and identify the previous week’s winner. They’ll receive an ASNV hat or tote bag. Here is this week’s mystery...one of these is not like the other! Can you identify both species pictured below?

Be sure to post your answers on our Facebook page @AudubonVA under the Monday Mystery post...do not reply to this email with your guess! 

Please remember to write the common name, being mindful of hyphens, uppercase and lowercase letters and always include the Latin name in parentheses. To learn more about bird names click here.

Do you know who these are? Remember to correctly identify BOTH species pictured here. Post your guess (please list both common name and Latin name for both species) on our Facebook page @AudubonVA under Monday Nature Mystery. 

Good luck!
