October Mystery Bird
Congratulations to Rebecca B., of Westfield, MA, who was randomly chosen from the entries that correctly identified last month's
Dark-eyed Junco, at right. Good luck with this month's challenge, below. HINT: This bird with Halloween plumage is found throughout
the western United States in the summer-and it's not an oriole! The winner will receive a plush Audubon singing bird and will be
chosen at random from all entries received that correctly identify the species (NAS employees can play but not win). One entry per
person please! Please email us your entry, being sure the words "Mystery Bird" appear in the subject line. Deadline for entering is
Sunday, November 7. Photo credits: Dark-eyed Junco-Dave Menke/USFWS, Mystery Bird-Steve Ryan/Wikimedia Commons (CC-BY-SA-2.0)
