So this week we begin our second hundred quizzes with a bird that is widespread across much the U.S. and whose range also extends into portions of Canada and Mexico. Last week's quiz bird was a Downy Woodpecker.

In other news, I have decided to break down the quizzes into year-based categories in a bit of blog-related housekeeping. I've started with the 2008 editions and will be working as time permits or I'm bored and have nothing better to do (unless I can find a shortcut, I have to go through all 100 posts individually).

Around Delaware Bay, I have been able to find very little news about migrating Red Knots, which is a little disappointing. But then maybe no news is good news? There is a news item here noting that Horseshoe Crab numbers seem to be up slightly this year but there is no mention of shorebird numbers.

Once you've decided on the answer to this week's quiz, head on over to A D.C. Birding Blog for this week's Loose Feathers.

And last but not least, the 76th edition of I and the Bird is a little garden party being hosted by Wanderin' Weeta.
