Name the Bird Sounds CHALLENGE!
Posted: Tue Jul 05, 2016 11:03 am
We added a new bird soundscape in 2.7.2 . As you explore different habitats, times of day, and seasons, you will hear sounds of 26 common Yellowstone birds!
Name the Birds Challenge
See if you can identify the birds you hear. The first person to post a correct guess on this thread will get a shout-out. Be sure to give the full common name (or Latin, if you are fancy). Don’t just say “sparrow” since there are tons of them.
Thanks to SolitaryHowl for getting the list started and inspiring this challenge!
