Halloween Birds

Halloween Feeder Birds

I decided to have a little fun this month and post photos of familiar birds with spooky sounding names. I am already in the Halloween "spirit," and thought this might help you to feel that way as well. I have numbered each photo and will post the correct species name in a list at the end. See how many you can get right as you scroll through the post and read the ghostly names I have given them! Have fun!

1. Black and orange Halloween Bird

2. Casper the Friendly Ghost Bird (seen at Sweetwater Wetlands in Tucson.)

3. Magnificent Horned Dragonbird

4. Pink-legged Spiderbird

5. Wart-faced Witch Duck (this bird has no need for a Halloween mask: it was born with one!)

6. Red-faced Corpse Bird

7. Blood-brained Swamp Diver

8. Black-crowned Night Hunter

9. Hairy-horned Dinosaur Bird

10. Green-necked Nightmare Stalker

11. Phantom of Mere Point (this birds appears out of the mist and fog, then vanishes again)

12. Haunting What What Bird (this bird drives you crazy by always asking, "What? What?)

13. White-faced Night Screamer (one scream from this bird will send chills down your spine!)
