Here is the “waterside birds” quiz. It covers the birds you’re most likely to spot during a paddle on the Columbia or the Wenatchee or on a riverside hike in Confluence State Park. In this quiz you can learn to identify ducks, raptors, swallows, and shorebirds, and find out which type of dinosaur birds are most closely related to.

Here’s a sampling of photos, but for the full meal deal check out the entire slideshow.


Note: Many thanks to Rod Gilbert for providing most of the photos for this slideshow. There are also a number from the Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife, which has an online gallery available for non-profit or educational use. Ken Longley also took several of the beautiful photos that were used in this show.
